About the Acorn Recruitment data breach
The Acorn Recruitment data breach stems from the identification of what has been described as “suspicious third-party activity”, with confirmation that some personal information may have been copied from their systems. The company has written to those who may be affected to confirm that they need to be wary because their personal information may now have been exposed and may now be misused.
According to information that we have been provided with by our clients so far, information that may have been copied from their systems could include the following:
- Name
- Address
- Contact details
- National insurance number
- Financial information such as bank details
- ID documents such as a passport, driving licence or national ID card
This kind of information is particularly personal and sensitive and could now put people at risk of fraud and identity theft. The data breach notification that Acorn Recruitment has issued includes the usual warnings about what steps people may need to take in order to protect their information.
Your Lawyers – taking No Win, No Fee action now
Your Lawyers, as Leading Data Leak Lawyers, have been contacted by several concerned victims of the Acorn Recruitment data breach, and we have agreed to take action for them on a No Win, No Fee basis.
It is early days, so we cannot yet confirm whether a case will be successful, but we will be investigating compensation claims to identify whether more could – and should – have been done to have prevented the incident from taking place. Whilst some cyberattacks can be seen as unavoidable, many (in our experience) can be avoided through better data protection and cybersecurity systems. Our legal action will aim to identify whether enough had been done to protect the information and, if it has not, that is when people could be eligible to claim compensation.
You do not have to have been affected by fraud and theft to be able to claim as you can pursue a case for the distress that has been caused by the loss of control of your personal information. Given that the data that may have been copied in this incident is particularly personal sensitive, the distress that people could suffer from could be substantial.
