We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
At the start of the year, the UK’s data watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), issued a report highlighting concerns in respect of Greater Manchester Police data practises.
A number of alarming findings appear to have been made, and the overall headline is that the ICO has little assurance in respect of the force being able to ensure that data protection law is complied with in some areas. Given that the police must store and process a significant wealth of very personal and sensitive information, the report makes for concerning reading.
No one is above the law, and this includes the police. Victims can be eligible to claim data breach compensation when it is the police at fault for a breach, and we can help.

When victims are notified that they have been affected by a data breach, it can feel like being disconnected from reality. While it may not seem that data theft has the same tangible impact as someone breaking into your home, information exposure can, in fact, lead to considerable security risks and, in some cases, fraud and financial loss. The potentially severe side-effects of data breaches highlight that both victims and businesses should never underestimate data breaches at all.
However, in their approach to data protection, some businesses and organisations show that they have little regard for the consequences of compromising or exposing information. Where companies fail to keep data secure in accordance with the law, they can be liable for the harm caused to those affected.
If you have been affected by a data breach, you may be eligible to pursue a compensation claim.
