data breaches from increasing digitisation

Data breaches from increasing digitisation

In recent years, digital technology has become more and more integral to business operations. Many employees spend the majority of their working lives on computers, using a variety of digital applications and resources to carry out their duties. However, the dawning and development of the digital age has also brought with it a wave of new data security risks, with cyberattacks and insider vulnerabilities posing threats to personal information. Data breaches from increasing digitisation can, therefore, represent a problem for all businesses to tackle in respect of their data protection strategies.

Arguably, the Covid-19 pandemic sped up the process of digital transformation in business, pushing companies to develop new ways of working that support an increase in the number of employees clocking in from home. In the post-pandemic world, businesses look set to retain remote working to some degree, meaning that increasing digitisation will be an ongoing matter to manage.

With the risk factors brought on by the digitisation of personal data, all organisations must be doing everything they can to protect the information they hold. Where they fail to do so, they may be in breach of data protection law, and those affected may be entitled to claim compensation.

Hackers Impersonating Company Employees

Hackers impersonating company employees is one of the tricks of the trade that they use to try to dupe people into providing them with further information or stealing money from them.

We have seen this many times before, often arising after major cyberattacks when swathes of personal information has been stolen. Ultimately, fraudsters only need a little bit of information to then contact their victims to try to dupe them into believing they are the real deal. Once they have done this, they could then trick a victim into handing over more information or transferring money to them.

You may be surprised how easily they can get away with it.
