Hackers Impersonating Company Employees

Hackers impersonating company employees is one of the tricks of the trade that they use to try to dupe people into providing them with further information or stealing money from them.

We have seen this many times before, often arising after major cyberattacks when swathes of personal information has been stolen. Ultimately, fraudsters only need a little bit of information to then contact their victims to try to dupe them into believing they are the real deal. Once they have done this, they could then trick a victim into handing over more information or transferring money to them.

You may be surprised how easily they can get away with it.

When data protection is too late after a cyberattack

It is too late to treat data protection with the seriousness that is required after a cyberattack has taken place, and information has already been exposed.

Despite the obviousness of this, and the stringent GDPR legislation in place, too many organisations are still failing to take action to stop a cyberattack rather than taking action after it has happened. The result is that many people can suffer when they lose control over their personal information which ends up in the hands of criminals.

Anyone affected by a data breach could be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation with our leading privacy claims experts now on a No Win, No Fee basis.
