Victims and businesses should never underestimate data breaches

When victims are notified that they have been affected by a data breach, it can feel like being disconnected from reality. While it may not seem that data theft has the same tangible impact as someone breaking into your home, information exposure can, in fact, lead to considerable security risks and, in some cases, fraud and financial loss. The potentially severe side-effects of data breaches highlight that both victims and businesses should never underestimate data breaches at all.

However, in their approach to data protection, some businesses and organisations show that they have little regard for the consequences of compromising or exposing information. Where companies fail to keep data secure in accordance with the law, they can be liable for the harm caused to those affected.

If you have been affected by a data breach, you may be eligible to pursue a compensation claim. We know how severely such incidents can affect people, and we will never undervalue the difficulties you have had to endure. You can contact us today to receive free, no-obligation advice from our specialist team.
