As more and more people are aware of their rights when it comes to data protection and privacy claims, we thought we’d give you a little expert overview as a pioneering firm in this area of law.
There are many ways that you may be able to make a data breach compensation claim, and there can be varying degrees of how people might suffer. It isn’t just about recovering financial losses from fraud and cyberattacks; it’s also about claiming for the distress caused through the loss of control, or misuse, of private information.
With thousands of data breach victims asking us for help over the years we’ve been fighting for justice, here’s a little insight for you.
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.
If you’ve been the victim of someone unlawfully accessing medical records, you could be entitled to make a medical data breach compensation claim.
With the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Foundation Trust medical records access scandal fresh in our minds, we want to make sure that victims know that they have a voice. We’ve taken forward a number of cases for victims of the WWL incident so far, but anyone who has suffered this kind of breach can be entitled to claim.
Whether you’re one of the 2,172 Greater Manchester patients affected by the above scandal, or someone who has discovered unlawful access to your information, we may be able to help you.
Victims who have been subjected to unauthorised access to medical records can be entitled to take legal action, and it’s important to know how we can be of assistance. With healthcare data breach claims being one of the most common cases that we help people with, and one of the worst in terms of the affect it can have on the victim, it’s an important topic to discuss.
This is a topic we’ve covered a lot in the past as a firm of lawyers who have helped many people with this exact type of case for a number of years. In recent weeks, we’ve covered the issue even more given the recent Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust scandal.
With the issue at the forefront of the media right now, let us – as expert Data Leak Experts – tell you exactly what you can do if you’re the victim of this kind of breach.
If you’ve been the victim of unauthorised access to your patient records, it’s important to know that you may be eligible to make a claim for medical data breach compensation.
We’ve discussed these kinds of NHS data breach claims many times before as it’s a common scenario for legal cases that we take forward. Issues like this have also been prevalent in the media following the Information Commissioner’s office (ICO) having to prosecute several employees guilty of breaking the law. They even had to issue a general warning to staff as a reminder to not abuse their rights to access medical data.
This issue is back in the media again following the huge Greater Manchester patients medical records access scandal, which is something we’ve taking a number of cases forward for.
We deal with a lot of cases that involve NHS medical records exposed in various ways, but this has to be the one of the most worrying and bizarre stories we’ve ever seen.
It’s understood that 40 tightly-packed bales of partially-shredded and cut NHS medical records have been used to weigh down a sculpture in Milton Keynes town centre. It’s set to be unveiled this Thursday as part of the annual Festival of Urban Living, but it’s reported that bits of the papers used in the bales have been caught by the wind and have been blown around the area.
Some of the papers are said to have included visible personal details of medical records, including prescriptions and surgery information. This really is a serious, serious matter indeed.
If you’ve been affected by the recent Teletext Holidays data breach, we may be able to represent you for a claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Some 200,000 audio recordings of telephone conversations have been found exposed by media outlet Verdict. The audio files had reportedly been left exposed for over three years on Amazon Web Services, with recordings dated between April and August 2016.
This isn’t the first time a trove of information has been left exposed on an Amazon storage database, whether by a lack of encryption, or where poor security processes are in place.
We’ve been contacted for help and taken a new case forward involving a Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust data breach for unauthorised medical records access.
If you have been informed that your medical records have been accessed without good reason, you may have a claim for NHS data breach compensation. These kinds of cases can be quite common, and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has had to warn medical staff about making sure to not break the law.
Given we are seeing another incident where this appears to have happened, we expect that an ICO fine may be forthcoming. For those who have been contacted and told that their personal and sensitive data has been misused, we may be able to help you.
Wokingham Council data leaks have hit the news again after media reports of a number of incidents where information has reportedly been sent to the wrong people.
These kinds of leaks can be awfully common, which is why a large number of the cases we take forward for people are council data breach compensation claims.
With the sheer wealth of information that councils hold, and the personal and sensitive nature of it, any leak, breach or hack can be serious.
There’s been yet another data leak that’s hit the social media giant. It’s reported that Facebook exposed telephone numbers for millions of users, including those in the UK.
This latest data leak comes after a long line of breaches and incidents that have plagued the social media giant over the last few years. It also comes after increased scrutiny from regulators around the world over things like their data sharing policies, with the Cambridge Analytica scandal still fresh on our minds.
Although Facebook appears to be trying to play down the scale of the leak, there’s no argument as to how serious this incident is.
