Property firms are sometimes highlighted as targets for cyberattacks given that the data they hold could be of significant value to cybercriminals. This is due to the extent of personal information that needs to be recorded to manage properties and complete buying and renting transactions. Cyberattacks at property firms can, therefore, represent a significant threat to data security, which is why it is vital for these companies to ensure that they have appropriate data protection procedures and cybersecurity measures in place.
Successful cyberattacks at property firms could result in fraud, scams and significant distress for the victims, so we are here to help those affected through such a difficult situation. We have represented many victims of data exposure for compensation claims, allowing victims to achieve justice for any harm caused.

When cyberattacks hit businesses and other organisations, it is often the impact on customers that is considered, given that the exposure of their information can cause serious implications, both for them and for the reputation of the hacked organisation. Yet cyberattacks affecting employees can be equally severe, as their employers often hold extensive personal information about them.
As an employee, a data breach by your employer can put you in an uncomfortable position, leaving you unsure about what action you can take. It may feel difficult to hold your employer accountable for a cybersecurity incident but, if your data has been compromised by their actions or inaction, you may be able to make a data breach compensation claim.
At Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – we have been representing claimants for matters relating to data privacy since 2014, honing our expertise in this still-developing area of law. We strongly believe that anyone who has been affected by a data breach should be able to access legal representation. If your privacy has been compromised by a data controller, contact us to receive free, no-obligation advice about your potential claim.
The medical profession is built on the principle of doctor-patient confidentiality, in which patients trust when disclosing highly sensitive information to healthcare professionals. In particular, the relationship between a patient and their GP involves a great degree of trust, as patients often visit the same GP for years. It can, therefore, be extremely distressing to suffer a breach of confidential information at a GP surgery.
Healthcare data breaches can arise in a number of different ways, whether due to the carelessness of individual employees, or the failed security of data storage systems. Unfortunately, the continued occurrence of data breaches in the healthcare sector risks breaking down the relationships between healthcare professionals and patients.
If you have had your confidential medical information exposed or compromised by your GP surgery, you could be entitled to claim compensation. The GDPR can allow victims whose rights have been violated to launch data breach claims. To receive free legal advice about your potential eligibility, contact our expert lawyers.
Previous data found that cyberattacks on the aviation industry had increased significantly in recent years, with commercial airlines reportedly suffering the heaviest blows. Unfortunately, such rises come as little surprise to us, and will likely not shock many others. Numerous airline cyberattacks in recent years have caused us to become accustomed to this sort of problem.
From British Airways to Air India, we have seen a number of high-profile cyber incidents involving airlines over the past few years, some of which have subsequently resulted in major data breach group actions. Given that aviation companies hold huge quantities of often highly sensitive personal information, it is natural that they are prime targets for hackers seeking to steal information. What can be harder to accept is that airlines keep failing to defend themselves against such attacks.
If you have had your personal data exposed as a result of an airline cyberattack, you may be able to recover compensation for the harm you have been caused. Our involvement in the group legal actions against both British Airways and easyJet means that we are an expert firm to come to for your data breach claim.
A previous report revealed that boxes of paper patient records and staff notes were reportedly left unsecured in a Norfolk care home following its closure several years previously. Despite past assurances of onsite security measures for the unoccupied building, it was possible for a local reporter to apparently walk onto the site through an open door, after which they found hoards of abandoned medical records left inside.
This was an example of how this kind of event could easily happen, though it was completely avoidable. Such violations of data protection law are always unacceptable, but they are particularly concerning where such sensitive information is involved.
We trust healthcare providers to do their utmost to protect our private data, so it is shocking that an organisation would neglect its data protection duties in these circumstances.
The importance of respecting data security in an organisation cannot be understated, and this is a matter that all employees within any setting should be fully aware of.
When it comes to what happens if something goes wrong, victims should know that they can use the GDPR to recover compensation for any distress and losses that have been caused. If you need help, you can speak to our legal team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.
