There has been a major Go-Ahead cyberattack that was reported at the start of this month, causing disruption to some of the company’s services and systems.
We have been contacted by concerned employees who are worried about whether their information has been misused or exposed as a result of the incident. We have received reports that there have been notifications issued to some employees, although it remains unclear as to whether any information has actually been exposed in the attack or not. As things stand, we are awaiting further information.
There was a major NHS IT supplier cyberattack that impacted the majority of 111 outsourced systems last month, with incredibly personal and sensitive information reportedly held for ransom.
It was reported that the cybercriminals demanded a ransom on the threat of leaking medical information which could reportedly have affected millions of people.
We know that hackers target the healthcare sector, so it is not surprising to have seen that this incident has occurred. That being said, given how personal and sensitive information is in the healthcare sector, we expect cybersecurity to prevent these kinds of incidents being successful.

Special category data is personal information that is afforded particular protection in accordance with the GDPR because of the nature of what it is.
The law recognises that you have the right to control who knows what about you, and it also recognises that certain information requires particular attention and control. This is the type of information that is often categorised as “special category”, and the need to protect it is vital.

The data minimisation principle is an essential part of data protection law in the UK to allow us to have greater control over who knows what about us, and why they store our information.
Any abuse of this principle could be a breach of the GDPR. A breach of the GDPR can entitle a victim to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of personal information. In such a case, we may be able to represent eligible claimants on in No Win, No Fee basis.
