data breaches from increasing digitisation
May 09, 2023

Data breaches from increasing digitisation

In recent years, digital technology has become more and more integral to business operations. Many employees spend the majority of their working lives on computers, using a variety of digital applications and resources to carry out their duties. However, the dawning and development of the digital age has also brought with it a wave of new data security risks, with cyberattacks and insider vulnerabilities posing threats to personal information. Data breaches from increasing digitisation can, therefore, represent a problem for all businesses to tackle in respect of their data protection strategies.

Arguably, the Covid-19 pandemic sped up the process of digital transformation in business, pushing companies to develop new ways of working that support an increase in the number of employees clocking in from home. In the post-pandemic world, businesses look set to retain remote working to some degree, meaning that increasing digitisation will be an ongoing matter to manage.

With the risk factors brought on by the digitisation of personal data, all organisations must be doing everything they can to protect the information they hold. Where they fail to do so, they may be in breach of data protection law, and those affected may be entitled to claim compensation.

IT company data breach
April 19, 2023

IT company data breach problems

To hackers, the benefits of an IT company data breach can be clear. Targeting IT providers who offer services to numerous other companies could offer the chance to unlock many servers and databases, each of which could store a wealth of sensitive information. For this reason, it is essential that IT companies have leading cybersecurity measures in place.

Unfortunately, not all companies abide by the required data protection standards, and this can open entry points for attackers. There have been a number of attacks on IT companies in recent years which have had knock-on effects on the businesses to which they provide services. This domino effect caused by IT company data breaches can reflect how devastating they can be for data security.

If you have been affected by a data breach of this nature, you may be able to claim compensation for any harm caused on a No Win, No Fee basis. At Your Lawyers – the Data Leak Lawyers – we have been representing victims in data breach claims since 2014, so we have the experience needed to help you win the compensation that you deserve.

criminals exposing digitisation

Criminals exposing digitisation flaws

In recent years, the world has undergone a digital revolution, with technology pervading so many aspects of our lives in ways we often barely notice. These digital advances bring with them many benefits, but the side effects of security problems are something that businesses and manufacturers sometimes fail to bring under control. There have, therefore, been many cases of criminals exposing digitisation flaws, exploiting these vulnerabilities to commit theft and fraud.

Despite the difficulties of adjusting to a new, digital world, there is now no excuse for businesses with holes in the defences of their digital systems and servers. In accordance with the GDPR, the principal piece of data protection legislation in the UK, all individuals and organisations that control, store and process personal data must ensure that there are appropriate protections in place for the sensitive personal information in their possession.

Where third parties fail to meet this obligation, they can also be held accountable via data breach claims. If you believe you have been the victim of a data protection breach, you may be able to claim compensation for the harm caused on a No Win, No Fee basis now.

cyberattacks at property firms

Cyberattacks at property firms

Property firms are sometimes highlighted as targets for cyberattacks given that the data they hold could be of significant value to cybercriminals. This is due to the extent of personal information that needs to be recorded to manage properties and complete buying and renting transactions. Cyberattacks at property firms can, therefore, represent a significant threat to data security, which is why it is vital for these companies to ensure that they have appropriate data protection procedures and cybersecurity measures in place.

Successful cyberattacks at property firms could result in fraud, scams and significant distress for the victims, so we are here to help those affected through such a difficult situation. We have represented many victims of data exposure for compensation claims, allowing victims to achieve justice for any harm caused.

If you wish to take action after a data breach, making a claim is a key means of holding those who caused the incident to account.
