With credit score company LOQBOX hacked, and personal information for victims exposed, what happens now and what can victims of the data breach do?
Firstly, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself if you’ve received confirmation that you’re affected by the data breach. You should contact your bank and follow their directions when it comes to securing your account and any compromised payment card data. In terms of login credentials, you should change these and change any you may have also used on other platforms. People need to be vigilant.
Finally, know your rights. As a leading firm of data breach compensation lawyers, you may be able to sign-up to make a claim for compensation with us. We’ve already been contacted by victims and taken cases forward and we’ve launched our legal action, and we may be able to help you too.
We have been contacted by victims of the LOQBOX data breach since Saturday, and we immediately offered No Win, No Fee agreements for the several victims that got in touch.
LOQBOX has been hacked and customers are being informed about the potential exposure of personal information. As accessible lawyers, we were open over the weekend from 9am to 5pm to help victims who were receiving breach notification emails, and we have taken compensation claims forward.

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.
We represent a lot of victims for cyber theft compensation claims. This includes individual claims and the many people involved in our group and multi-party actions.
We can represent victims for compensation cases on a No Win, No Fee basis if they’re eligible to claim with us. We understand that the impact of having your information exposed and / or stolen can be devastating, and organisations are still not doing enough to protect the valuable data that they store and process.
As a leading firm of data breach compensation experts that have been fighting for the rights of victims for a lot longer than many other firms, we can help you.
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.
Victims of a healthcare cybersecurity breach can be entitled to make a claim for compensation with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.
With these types of incidents worryingly common, and on the rise, it’s important that victims know their rights. Of the thousands of people who have approached us for help over the years we’ve been fighting for the rights of data breach victims, a huge number of them involve medical data breaches. They’re one of the most common types of legal cases that we take forward, and the impact for the victim can be significant.
Victims should never suffer in silence. As a leading, expert data breach compensation firm with a proven track record of settling cases, we can help you.
If your debit or credit card is hacked, you could be entitled to make a claim for data breach compensation, even if no money was stolen or if you’ve been refunded.
If you have lost money, we can include this as part of a legal case as well. However, you don’t have to have suffered an actual financial loss to be able to make a No Win, No Fee claim with us.
The distress that victims can suffer when this kind of personal and sensitive information is exposed can be substantial. Data breach compensation pay-outs can reflect the distress that people suffer from by the loss of control of their personal information. In this area of law, we are experts with a proven track record of settling damages claims over several years.
We have previously discussed the issues surrounding gaming data breaches, and have been asked for help and representation for cases of this nature.
The market for online gaming is massive, and data will be exchanged across the world as part of activities players are engaged in. There will be a lot of accounts that contain a great deal of personal data, and there will also be financial information stored for processing payments.
There’s also a huge “black market” for hijacked accounts as well. There are the players whose accounts they have spent time and money on being stolen, and there are those who are prepared to pay for built-up accounts. This leaves serious questions over the future of gaming and how they may be affected by data breaches.
The Sweaty Betty data breach incident appears to be another case of cybercriminals using malicious code in checkout systems to steal sensitive information.
We’ve literally seen this before. Two of the big recent examples are British Airways and Ticketmaster; both of which are thought to be attacks carried out by the same group of hackers. Inserting code into checkout systems can lead to personal details and payment card data being exposed and that’s exactly what has happened in the Sweaty Betty case.
Anyone who has been affected in England and Wales may be entitled to bring a claim for data breach compensation, and we can help.
As a ‘go-to’ name in the data breach compensation industry, we were asked by the I Paper to provide them with a list of Black Friday cybersecurity tips. We were more than happy to help.
As featured in the I Paper today, we have provided a list of safety tips for shoppers this Black Friday which also applies to the coming Cyber Monday. As great as deals can be for shoppers, in today’s age of cyberattacks and data exposure, consumers need to be careful.
You can read the tips in today’s print edition of the I Paper. We’ll also outline the basis of the information for you here as well under headings with some additional information.
