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.
We represent several clients who are claiming for employment tribunal data breaches, and there are many ways these kinds of incidents can take place.
Employment tribunals are sensitive matters that need to be treated confidentially. Many people involved in disputes with an employer do not want colleagues or former colleagues knowing the details about what’s going on. Although some colleagues may need to be aware for witness evidence purposes, it’s not usually a matter that should be so widely known.
Over the last 5 years, we’ve been at the forefront of data breach compensation claiming as a leading firm of expert lawyers. A number of the individual legal cases we deal with have involved leaks and breaches associated with employment tribunal matters. Here’s how we can help you.
GDPR fines and compensation claims for victims are two separate things with separate avenues for recovering money in either case.
Although the GDPR means that fines can now hit the millions, none of that money is designed to be for the victims. Money recovered from financial penalties will normally end up in the treasury with other general government funds like taxes and fines. It can then be used for government spending.
When it comes to justice for victims, you can speak to us about a separate legal action where you can bring a claim for data breach compensation.
