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.

The context of a data breach: why a £20,000 settlement?

The context of a data breach is incredibly important to consider, and is why some claims can settle for much higher values than others, such as a previous one we resolved for £20,000.

Ultimately, a claim for compensation is about assessing the impact that has been caused to a data breach victim. This can differ from person to person, and the context of an incident is one of the key things we need to consider, as we will outline below.

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.
