The Rochester School data breach was caused as a result of a USB stick containing pupil data being lost. The data stick was also unencrypted.
It’s understood that the data for every single pupil – that’s more than 1,000 pupils – at the Rochester Grammar School was exposed on the unencrypted memory stick that was lost. The data included personal and sensitive information which is enough to cause distress to the victims involved.
Rochester School has since apologised for the data breach and the matter has been reported to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The Thinking Schools Academy Trust that runs the school has called the data breach “exceptionally disappointing”.
There has been a Ticketmaster data breach that we’re advising victims for and taking on claims for data breach compensation.
People who used the Tickmaster service between February and June 2018 may have been affected.
The Ticketmaster data breach was discovered on Saturday 23rd June and customers have today received email notifications confirming whether they have been affected by the breach. Personal information and payment information is thought to have been accessed.
The Shurgard UK employee data breach has led to personal and sensitive information about employees being leaked by Human Resources.
Our Data Leak Lawyers have been approached for help and representation following the breach, where personal and sensitive data about employees was accidentally shared to what’s believed to be all employees within the company.
The attachments on the breach email contained detailed notes referencing employee attitudes, attendances, progression potential, grievances and health concerns.
The Lib Dem voter data breach was another classic example of what can happen when data is inadvertently not secured.
The personal details of Liberal Democrat voters was accidentally left exposed and open to public access without the need for log-in credentials, let alone even a password.
The information exposed in the data breach included personal details and voter canvasing notes, both of which are personal and can be sensitive.
The circumstances surrounding the Ed Sheeran hospital data breach is not an uncommon occurrence.
Two members of staff at the Ipswich Hospital were disciplined for illegally accessing Ed Sheeran’s private medical information after he’d sustained injuries from a bicycle accident, with the star suffering from a broken his right wrist and left elbow that led to tour dates being cancelled.
One staff member embroiled in the data breach has been sacked while the other has reportedly received a written warning after being caught accessing Ed Sheeran’s personal details without any reason; but this kind of behaviour is not uncommon.
According to recent information, transparency pays when it comes to retail data protection as some consumers would pledge to shop more with retailers who are transparent about how they use their data.
Given the volume of data breaches we see in the news these days, consumers are more aware than ever about the importance of data protection and knowing more about how their data is used and shared.
The data about customers being happier to shop more with organisations when there is more transparency over retailer data protection policies is certainly food for thought in today’s globally-competitive market.
Profits are set to fall in the wake of the Dixons Carphone cyber-attack. A sharp fall in profits is expected after news of the massive cyber-attack that exposed some 5.9 million credit and debit card details, and some 1.2 million personal data records.
Some reports have indicated the fall in profits may be as much as 23pc.
The Dixons Carphone cyber-attack apparently took place last year, yet it has taken them almost a year for the news to be revealed; a matter that they will no doubt face further criticism for.
