MGM data breach exposes information for 10.6 million

News of the massive MGM data breach is yet another example of hackers successfully hitting the travel and tourism industry, and the fallout of this one is monumental.

First reported by ZDNet, it’s understood that the attack took place last summer, and that some of the former guests affected by the cyberattack have been notified. It’s understood that at least 10.6 million guests have been affected by the attack, although MGM has also admitted that there could be more.

This breach follows a string of infamous attacks involving the tourism industry in the last few years. The first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales is for the 2018 British Airways data breaches, and both Marriott and Cathay Pacific have also been hit with attacks in recent years.

Online fraud compensation claims

Online fraud compensation claims are growing as criminals are making use of e-skimming hacks to steal payment card information in real-time.

When you withdraw money from an ATM or make a card purchase in a shop, you can shield the keypad when you enter your pin and keep an eye over your shoulder for anything suspicious. You may also be able to tell if there’s something dodgy on the ATM or card reader that could indicate it’s not secure.

But when you’re shopping online or in an app, you can’t really take those kinds of precautions. People are at increasing risks of e-skimming which involves card information being stolen in real-time online, so here’s our advice for what victims can do.

London council data breaches

The issue of London council data breaches has hit the media in light of damning statistics about the volumes of data that has reportedly been lost or stolen that involves these authorities.

Council data breach compensation claims are one of the most common types of cases that we take forward. The reasons are likely down to the sheer wealth of data that authorities and their outsourced partners hold, and the fact that it can be very personal and sensitive. What also doesn’t help is the fact that there are funding issues which can mean some councils aren’t able to commit enough resources for data protection either.

As a leading, specialist data breach law firm, the statistics do not come as a surprise to us; despite how worrying they are.
