Another Marriott data security breach

There has been yet another Marriott data security breach with this one now being its third major incident in just a few short years.

We have taken legal action for UK victims who were affected by the previous infamous Marriott cybersecurity data breaches, so it is surprising to see yet another event hit the hotelier. We would have thought, given the previous incidents that have taken place, they would have responded to make sure that their cybersecurity prevents this sort of incident occurring. Unfortunately, given that there has been yet another incident, it appears that there are still weaknesses that cybercriminals can exploit.

NHS Data Breach Threats and Claiming Compensation

Recognising and preventing NHS data breach threats is a core part of the mission to protect our valuable healthcare service and to ensure that patient confidentiality is upheld.

A lot of the claims for data breach compensation that we represent people for involve medical information. The reason for this is because it is often targeted by hackers, and it is also often the subject of data leaks because of how much information there is and how many people are involved. At the same time, this kind of information generally can have a substantial impact on the victim if it is misused or exposed, which often leads people to instruct us for a claim for compensation.

NHS data security breach compensation claims

NHS data security breach compensation claims are some of the most significant that we represent people for as a leading firm of Data Leak Lawyers in the UK.

Our medical information is some of the most private and personal there can be about us, which is why the law specifically protects it and allows us to control who knows what about our healthcare information. If we were to lose this control as a result of a data security breach, the distress that can be caused can be significant.
