British Dental Association hack: unknowns remain

There are still plenty of questions and unknowns surrounding the recent British Dental Association hack that was revealed in the headlines in August.

The full extent of what data has been exposed, and how much of it, remains in question. What we do know so far is that those who are known to have been affected have had incredibly personal and sensitive data exposed. The information exposed could lead to fraud and theft, and victims must be vigilant.

Flintshire Council data breach: another avoidable leak

In our view, the Flintshire Council data breach that led to the personal details of people being accidentally leaked online was another avoidable incident.

Despite the GDPR and the lessons that could – and should – have been learned from similar incidents in the past that have affected public and private organisations alike, these simple and avoidable leaks continue to take place.

As a leading firm of data breach lawyers, we are used to taking council data breach compensation claims forward because of how often these kinds of incidents take place. At a time when we should be seeing fewer of these kinds of leaks, we continue to take on significant numbers of new legal cases.
