Cyber hack compensation claims are one of the more common types of cases that we represent people for, particularly when it comes to group and multi-party actions.
You can be entitled to claim damages for any distress, suffering, loss of amenity, and for any financial losses as well. Importantly, you don’t have to have suffered an actual financial loss to be able to claim. The mere fact that your information has been hacked can be enough for you to claim for the distress element alone.
Our lawyers are fighting for justice in dozens of different group cases, and many of them have stemmed from cyberattacks.
With cybercriminals potentially targeting this sector, recruitment agency data breach compensation claims may be on the rise. We’re here to help.
This kind of data breach could lead to a substantial impact on the victim. You must remember that recruitment agencies hold a great deal of information about thousands and thousands of candidates. And many of the big agencies are online, so the numbers can be huge, and the data can be accessible.
When you have a wealth of potentially sensitive information for thousands of people, you can easily become a target for hackers. Employees of recruitment companies must also ensure that they’re complying with the law as well.
We can offer No Win, No Fee representation for victims who claim compensation for a financial information data breach with us.
Although we often talk about claiming for the distress of a breach, those who lose money can be entitled to recover what has been lost as well. This is in addition to the distress for the fact that the breach has happened in the first place.
With the number of cyber incidents in the financial services sector said to be increasing, this is an important area for us to offer our expert advice and services for.
Apps and smart devices are pretty much staples for many people these days, and information is being shared all the time. But what about health apps sharing data? How much of an understanding do you have about what exactly is being passed around?
If you’re not sure, you may have reason to be concerned. Health apps are fairly common these days, from the basic ones tracking our physical activity, to period tracking apps, dietary apps, and workout apps.
Like most apps, information is being passed and shared around, and there are usually privacy policies in place and consent forms in place. But how much do people really understand about it all?
Victims of a university cyber-attack can be entitled to claim for data breach compensation, and we can offer No Win, No Fee representation for cases that meet our eligibility criteria.
Universities and other learning institutions can be somewhat of a target for cybercriminals. They can be targeted by foreign threat across who are seeking intelligence and research information, but they can also be a target for those who wish to hack data for ransom.
These institutions often hold a wealth of personal and sensitive data about tens of thousands of people, and victims of a data breach like this should know their rights for justice.
As a victim whose data has been exposed or misused, you can be eligible to make a claim for compensation for cybersecurity incidents.
Whether the incident has taken place at a business who you use the services for, at work, or at your local hospital, you may have a legal case. GDPR and Data Protection Act legislation allows for a victim to be entitled to receive damages for the impact of leaks, breaches and hacks. As expert data lawyers who pioneered some of the earliest cases and actions, we may be able to help you.
Here’s a little advice about when you may be able to claim and what we could do for you.
A seriously concerning security flaw has been discovered which has reportedly allowed hackers to covertly put so-called monitoring implants in iPhones.
The vulnerability is said to have been discovered in January 2019, with Apple releasing a security patch in February 2019. It’s understood that Google’s external ‘white hat’ security team, known as Project Zero, are responsible for identifying the flaw.
There may be thousands upon thousands of people whose phones have been compromised in a way that could allow hackers to have had access to a disturbing wealth of information.
The risks when it comes to a local council data breach event are incredibly high. One of the primary types of cases that we take forward involve local government authorities and agencies, so we can tell you from experience that they’re worryingly common.
There are many reasons as to why council data breach compensation claims are so common. There are a lot of doorways to data in the public sector, and there’s a wealth of information that’s being stored and processed by local governments. The nature of the information they store and process usually covers the whole spectrum: from personal, to financial, and to medical.
Victims of a council data breach can be entitled to compensation, and it’s important that victims if an incident understand their rights.
Worries have been raised over the ability for hackers to steal information via a potential British Airways check-in data breach that could arise.
This news comes as we continue to take new Claimants on as part of the BA Group Action that stems from the 2018 cyber-attack incidents.
In this latest security issue that has reportedly been discovered by security experts Wandera, customers’ information could be at risk of exposure as a result of vulnerabilities found in an email link. With some customers already concerned as victims of the 2018 data breach incidents, this latest issue is another blow for passengers who deserve their data to be properly safeguarded from risks posted by cybercriminals.
There are still so many worries when it comes to another NHS cyber breach event like we saw with the 2017 WannaCry incident that crippled many parts of our healthcare service.
Last week, we covered the most recent study that was focused on ongoing vulnerabilities and whether we’re set to see another huge event that could affect millions of people in the UK. And a lot of the worries stem from the simple fact that there’s not always enough funding in place for proper cybersecurity. In fact, cost-cutting can subsequently lead to even greater vulnerabilities.
We can’t change the fact that vulnerabilities may not be the focus for the government. But what we can do is make sure that victims of an NHS cyber breach can access the legal help and representation they need.
