Increasing threats of a cloud data breach

The increasing threats of a cloud data breach are likely set to continue as more of the world becomes digitised, with systems and servers moved into the cloud.

As we often say, it only takes one weak link for hackers to break in and potentially expose swathes of very personal and sensitive information. Victims of such a data breach could be entitled to pursue a No Win, No Fee legal case and we provide free, no-obligation legal advice here for those affected by a data breach.

Compensation for data breaches from phishing emails
