Financial services firms are prime targets for cybercriminals

Cybercrime threatens all kinds of businesses and organisations, but there are certain forms of personal data records that can be particularly highly prized by cybercriminals. Financial services firms represent valuable targets for hackers, as the information they hold can be lucrative.

The cybercrime landscape has evolved in a way that seeks to take advantage of the increasing aggregation and digitisation of personal information by businesses. Many companies now keep huge stores of personal information relating to customers and stakeholders, as well as their own workforces. Unfortunately, some businesses do not have the strong cybersecurity and data protection policies to keep data safe and secure, which can lead to breaches of data protection law.

Even when a cyberattack occurs, it is not solely hackers that are to blame for an incident. If the company that was attacked did not have appropriate defences in place, they can be at fault for failing to protect information. If you have been affected by a data breach incident like this, you may be eligible to make a compensation claim.

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. Contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

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.
