As tech moves more and more into cyberspace, cloud data breaches are on the rise, and we expect they may keep rising as well.
But why aren’t they secure in the first place, and what can you do if you’re the victim of a cloud data breach incident?
There can be a number of reasons as to how cloud data breaches happen. One of the questions that victims of a data breach may ask is who their legal case needs to be against: the organisation responsible for your data, or the cloud provider. Either way, you may be able to make a claim for data breach compensation when your data is breached, hacked or leaked as a result of the use of cloud software.
One of the most common reasons cloud data breaches happen is actually down to the fault of employees in an organisation, according to a recent report. Whether it’s a case of failing to secure their access to cloud software properly, or the use of poor passwords, breaking into a cloud database isn’t always the fault of the cloud provider.
And we’re not surprised by the recent findings either. There can often be a reliance on the confidence that cloud providers have cybersecurity measures to prevent breaches and hacks. But it’s the organisation and their employees who open the door to access the data contained in the cloud, and that’s where the weakest point can be.
If an organisation’s email or a different server is hacked, criminals could then use that as a platform to gain access to cloud data as well. No amount of cybersecurity may be good enough when it comes down to a simple case of compromised credentials.
Victims of cloud data breaches may be entitled to make a claim for data breach compensation. If the breach, leak or hack was preventable, we can hold someone to account; whether that’s the organisation, or the cloud provider.
