News of incidents appear in the media all the time, and when it involves an organisation you may interact with, the first question people often ask is: has my data been breached?
Well, it isn’t always easy to tell right away. In some cases, organisations that have reportedly been hit by a cyberattack stay silent for some time before they speak out about it. Some are slow to advise people about what has happened which has led to criticism; Equifax being a classic example of this.
Organisations have a responsibility to inform their customers and clients if their information has been misused or exposed. But with speed being an issue, and some cases involving issues where it’s hard to know for sure who has been breached, people need to be wary.
A simple and common type of data breach occurs when mail is sent to the wrong person. It can easily happen, and it often does happen, and victims should know their rights.

We represent several clients who are claiming for employment tribunal data breaches, and there are many ways these kinds of incidents can take place.
Employment tribunals are sensitive matters that need to be treated confidentially.

The issue of London council data breaches has hit the media in light of damning statistics about the volumes of data that has reportedly been lost or stolen that involves these authorities.
Council data breach compensation claims are one of the most common types of cases that we take forward. The reasons are likely down to the sheer wealth of data that authorities and their outsourced partners hold, and the fact that it can be very personal and sensitive. What also doesn’t help is the fact that there are funding issues which can mean some councils aren’t able to commit enough resources for data protection either.
