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. We know how severely such incidents can affect people, and we will never undervalue the difficulties you have had to endure. You can contact us today to receive free, no-obligation advice from our specialist team.

Anglesey schools cyberattack: A small island off the coast of Wales, Anglesey does not have many schools, but all five of its secondary schools were reportedly hit by a cyberattack in late June last year.
In the wake of the attack, investigations began to establish whether or not data had been affected and, if so, to what extent. The unknown element of cyberattacks was clearly demonstrated in this incident, with schools left wondering what the complications could be as they scrambled to deal with the assault on their systems.
Unfortunately, cyberattacks have been hitting the education sector with increasing frequency in recent times, calling into question how effectively school cybersecurity can defend against such targeted attacks. Where schools have not done enough to protect personal information, they could be responsible for a breach of data protection law. If you have been affected by an incident like this, you may be eligible to pursue a data protection breach compensation claim.
In a consumerist, digital world, companies are constantly acquiring consumers’ personal information, whether it’s for the purpose of fulfilling purchases and orders, tracking website use, or guiding advertising strategy. To maintain the privacy of such data, all businesses and other organisations are obliged to comply with data protection law. When a company data breach compromises data privacy, the repercussions can be severe.
On one level, a data breach can severely affect the breached company’s reputation, with reports of the incident often prompting distrust among investors and consumers. However, most significantly, data security incidents can put consumers in situations of potentially severe distress and privacy risks. Where the negligence of data protection law caused personal data to be exposed, those affected may have a right to claim compensation.
As leading specialists in data breach claims, we can help victims of data breaches to recover the compensation they deserve. With our bespoke advice and wide-ranging expertise, we can assess your case and ensure that you receive the highest possible pay-out for your claim.

While hospitals and healthcare trusts have always been prime targets for cybercriminals, the reports of increasing healthcare cyberattacks suggest that the hackers are aiming their attacks at the sector with an alarming and greater frequency. The rising numbers of cyberattacks on healthcare organisations have also widely been associated with Covid-19, in line with the wider increase in cybercrime provoked by the pandemic.
In the face of such a significant cybersecurity threat, it is vital that healthcare organisations play their part to protect the personal information that is in their control. In fact, the law requires that all data controllers take steps to ensure that the personal information they process and hold is safeguarded through appropriate organisational and cybersecurity measures. As a result, where they fail to sufficiently protect information and consequently cause it to be compromised or exposed, they could be responsible for a data protection breach.
We understand how distressing healthcare data breaches can be for those affected, given how sensitive medical information is. Our leading, specialist data protection lawyers are here to advocate on your behalf to ensure you can claim compensation for any harm caused.
