We launched our first group legal case back in 2015 when data compensation was an emerging area of law, and many of the dozens of actions that we now help people for involve security breaches.

Victims can contact our team for free, no-obligation advice about their options for compensation.
News of incidents appear in the media all the time, and when it involves an organisation you may interact with, the first question people often ask is: has my data been breached?
Well, it isn’t always easy to tell right away. In some cases, organisations that have reportedly been hit by a cyberattack stay silent for some time before they speak out about it. Some are slow to advise people about what has happened which has led to criticism; Equifax being a classic example of this.
Organisations have a responsibility to inform their customers and clients if their information has been misused or exposed. But with speed being an issue, and some cases involving issues where it’s hard to know for sure who has been breached, people need to be wary.
If your medical records are exposed, you could be entitled to make a claim for data breach compensation with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We represent a lot of people for cases of this nature, and the impact on the victim is usually severe. Data breach compensation amounts are designed to reflect the severity of the distress caused by the loss of control of personal information. When the data misused or exposed is particularly sensitive and confidential, like medical data, the distress can be worse. As such, pay-outs can be significant.
Victims should never suffer in silence. If you have been the victim of a medical records data breach, you could be entitled to compensation, and we can help.
No one should underestimate the impact of data breaches; not the organisations who cause a data breach, nor the victims who are caught up in one.
Information is knowledge, and knowledge is power. In the wrong hands, even a little data can go along way to harming someone. The number of breaches and hacks in recent years has grown at a rapid rate, and we expect to see this trend continue; even though we have the GDPR in place nowadays.
Take it from us a leading firm of data breach compensation experts: we know the impact incidents can cause to the victims. Here’s some advice about the risks and what you can do about being the victim of a data breach event.
News of the massive MGM data breach is yet another example of hackers successfully hitting the travel and tourism industry, and the fallout of this one is monumental.
First reported by ZDNet, it’s understood that the attack took place last summer, and that some of the former guests affected by the cyberattack have been notified. It’s understood that at least 10.6 million guests have been affected by the attack, although MGM has also admitted that there could be more.
This breach follows a string of infamous attacks involving the tourism industry in the last few years. The first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales is for the 2018 British Airways data breaches, and both Marriott and Cathay Pacific have also been hit with attacks in recent years.

Online fraud compensation claims are growing as criminals are making use of e-skimming hacks to steal payment card information in real-time.
When you withdraw money from an ATM or make a card purchase in a shop, you can shield the keypad when you enter your pin and keep an eye over your shoulder for anything suspicious. You may also be able to tell if there’s something dodgy on the ATM or card reader that could indicate it’s not secure.
But when you’re shopping online or in an app, you can’t really take those kinds of precautions. People are at increasing risks of e-skimming which involves card information being stolen in real-time online, so here’s our advice for what victims can do.
