Vulnerable victims of data breaches

A data breach can have an adverse impact on anyone it affects, but some victims are forced to endure even worse consequences due to their personal circumstances. Vulnerable victims of data breaches can typically be prone to increased security risks and distress due to the highly sensitive nature of the information exposed.

Unfortunately, we have seen how some data controllers have little regard for the real implications of information exposure, which can drastically compromise a victim’s privacy and even personal safety in the long term. By bringing claims against these defendants, we aim to stand up for the rights of vulnerable victims of data breaches whose voices may otherwise go unheard.

If you have been put in a vulnerable position due to a data breach, please do not hesitate to contact us for free, no-obligation advice on your potential claim.
