We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
As expert Data Leak Lawyers who specialise and focus on data protection compensation claims, we believe that people ought to be concerned about health app data breaches.
There are many ways these breaches can occur, and when it comes to medical data, we’re talking about some of the most private and sensitive information there is.
The app market continues to grow, and the popularity of health apps is understood to be on the rise as well. Ultimately, the companies behind these apps could be gathering – and maybe even sharing – more data than many people realise. On top of that, the risks of leaks and hacks is a cause for concern.
We’re issuing an early warning in terms of the British Airways claim deadline that may be scheduled to land very soon.
With our lawyers working in dozens of group actions for a number of years, and having seen people miss the deadlines a lot, it’s important to start a case sooner rather than later. We’re still getting fresh enquiries for one of the recent group actions we’ve been involved in where the cut-off date elapsed last year. We really can’t stress enough how important it is that you get your claim set up and started as soon as you can.
Missing the deadline usually means missing out on compensation, and in the BA Group Action, the deadlines could be extremely short.
Worries have been raised over the ability for hackers to steal information via a potential British Airways check-in data breach that could arise.
This news comes as we continue to take new Claimants on as part of the BA Group Action that stems from the 2018 cyber-attack incidents.
In this latest security issue that has reportedly been discovered by security experts Wandera, customers’ information could be at risk of exposure as a result of vulnerabilities found in an email link. With some customers already concerned as victims of the 2018 data breach incidents, this latest issue is another blow for passengers who deserve their data to be properly safeguarded from risks posted by cybercriminals.
If you’re not sure about how to make a GDPR claim, here’s some advice about what you can do to make sure you get the justice you deserve as a victim of a data breach incident.
The new GDPR that came into force in 2018 allows for victims whose information has been exposed or misused to be able to claim compensation. You can be entitled to claim damages for any distress caused and for any financial losses as well. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more the data breach compensation pay-out could be.
A really important thing to know is that the GDPR fines that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issues are not intended to be compensation for victims. When it comes to justice for the victims, you should speak to a lawyer! As a law firm, here’s out advice in how to make a GDPR claim.
If you were affected by the 2018 cyber-attack incidents, you can be entitled to make a No Win, No Fee British Airways compensation claim.
The British Airways Group Action is one of the dozens of multi-party legal cases we’re fighting for justice in. As expert data protection compensation lawyers who have been helping victims claim for many years, we’re proud to be able to offer our specialised services on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Here’s a little guidance about how the No Win, No Fee works when it comes to a BA compensation claim that arises from the cyber breach incidents of 2018.
There are still so many worries when it comes to another NHS cyber breach event like we saw with the 2017 WannaCry incident that crippled many parts of our healthcare service.
Last week, we covered the most recent study that was focused on ongoing vulnerabilities and whether we’re set to see another huge event that could affect millions of people in the UK. And a lot of the worries stem from the simple fact that there’s not always enough funding in place for proper cybersecurity. In fact, cost-cutting can subsequently lead to even greater vulnerabilities.
We can’t change the fact that vulnerabilities may not be the focus for the government. But what we can do is make sure that victims of an NHS cyber breach can access the legal help and representation they need.
You can be eligible to make a claim for cyber-attack compensation if your data has been exposed as a result of a hack.
Ultimately, the law is clear in terms of the responsibility organisations have to safeguard the data that they store and process. It’s their job to ensure that they have proper cybersecurity in place to prevent a breach incident taking place, and if they fail to do so, victims are well within their rights to justice.
A lot of the group actions and multi-party legal cases we’re involved in have stemmed from cyber-attacks. This includes some of the big-name examples like British Airways, Equifax and Ticketmaster.
If your information has been exposed or misused, one of the first things you may want to know is who is liable for a data breach given that you may be owed compensation.
Ultimately, anyone can be liable for a data breach if it’s their responsibility to look after and properly use your information and they’ve failed to do so. But a more important question may be whether those at the centre of a data breach are liable to compensate you.
As expert Data Leak Lawyers with a long history of being at the forefront of data breach cases and group actions, we’re very well placed to answer these questions.
If you’ve yet to start your British Airways compensation claim, it’s not too late to sign-up to the pending group action that we’re fighting for justice in.
We’ve been representing victims of the data breaches since news of the cyber-attacks hit the headlines last year. We’re now representing a number of victims who have been affected, and we’re pursuing legal action for them on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If you’re serious about claiming, we urge you to make sure you sign-up as soon as you can to avoid missing any key deadlines that may occur during the course of the legal action. Here’s a little information about what you need to know.
You may have seen advertisements on how to claim Equifax compensation for the recent settlement in the U.S., but what about claims for the victims affected here in the UK?
We have a different jurisdiction here and it’s a different way that we’re pursuing compensation for UK victims. We’ve been acting for a number of people affected by the breach in England and Wales since news of the incident hit the headlines in 2017. Although we’re over two years on from the discovery of the breach, you still have time to join the action for compensation.
This is one of the dozens of different data breach group and multi-party actions we’re fighting for justice in. Make sure you start your claim as soon as you can, and here’s a little more information about what’s going on.
