We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
The ongoing Northumbria University cyberattack is a cause for concern and has already led to a significant amount of distribution for students.
We understand that the situation remains ongoing as the university tries to fix the problems that have arisen from the cyberattack. It looks like this may be a ransomware attack, and it remains unknown as to whether any information has been exposed so far.
If data does end up being exposed, victims whose personal information is affected may need our legal advice and representation.
The Pensions Management Institute data breach is understood to have affected 1,700 people after hackers gained access to the Outlook account of a PMI employee.
We understand that those whose information has been exposed in the attack have been targeted with emails directing them to a third-party website. Victims of the security incident are at an immediate risk of fraud and theft and will need to be vigilant for any contact that they now may receive.
As a leading firm of data breach lawyers, we are used to representing clients for these kinds of cases. The standard tricks that criminals use to steal money and further information can work, and people need to be careful.
There are still plenty of questions and unknowns surrounding the recent British Dental Association hack that was revealed in the headlines in August.
The full extent of what data has been exposed, and how much of it, remains in question. What we do know so far is that those who are known to have been affected have had incredibly personal and sensitive data exposed. The information exposed could lead to fraud and theft, and victims must be vigilant.
We can investigate potential cases for compensation for a data breach on a No Win, No Fee basis. As a leading firm of data protection compensation specialists, we are here to help.
In our view, the Flintshire Council data breach that led to the personal details of people being accidentally leaked online was another avoidable incident.
Despite the GDPR and the lessons that could – and should – have been learned from similar incidents in the past that have affected public and private organisations alike, these simple and avoidable leaks continue to take place.
As a leading firm of data breach lawyers, we are used to taking council data breach compensation claims forward because of how often these kinds of incidents take place. At a time when we should be seeing fewer of these kinds of leaks, we continue to take on significant numbers of new legal cases.

Coronavirus contact tracing data breaches and general security issues are at the forefront of our minds right now. As a leading firm of data breach lawyers, we are concerned.
There are still a lot of questions over the use of the system that has already faced a great deal of controversy so far. As the UK tries to reduce the risk of coronavirus, how does contact tracing work and is my data safe? Is there any reason to be particularly concerned about how information will be used and stored with the system? Given how personal and sensitive medical data is, how real are the risks?
Unfortunately, recent media reports suggest that information misuse is already an issue. Given how common medical data breach compensation claims are, we are not surprised.
