Hackers targeting retailers is an increasing problem as the world continues to become more and more digitised and the industry grows exponentially online.
Retailers have an important duty to safeguard the information that they store and process, which can be particularly sensitive given that it will often involve financial information such as payment card data. In the wrong hands, such information could put people at risk of fraud and theft, and the distress that can be associated with knowing that your information is in the hands of criminals can be substantial.

In the summer of 2021, it was reported that a UK-based cake maker and retailer had suffered a hack in which customer information was reportedly compromised. The Cake Box data breach was said to have been discovered in 2020, at which point they alerted the affected customers, but the incident appears to have only come to more mainstream media attention earlier this year.
As a company that could hold significant quantities of customer data, the UK cake store chain may have been seen as a valuable target for the attackers. As with all cyberattacks, the data breach raises questions about the strength of the defences that Cake Box had in place, and whether or not the company did all it could to protect customer data. But it also serves to show that any retailer can be a target, and this is something that all organisations must take heed of. And, given how it happened, it also serves as a reminder as to how retailers can be targeted in various ways.
When a data breach occurs, victims can often feel powerless, but we can assure you that it is possible to take action against those responsible. If your data security has been compromised by a third party, you may be eligible for a compensation claim, and we can offer free, no-obligation advice about your case.
It may be the most wonderful time of the year for all the right reasons, but the festive season, and the weeks leading up to it, can be a hotbed for privacy events that could entitle you to pursue a retail data breach claim.
Unfortunately, hackers and scammers do exploit this time of the year when they know that retailers will often be very busy, and when they know that online shopping can reach its peaks. It is the ideal time for criminals to exploit people, and a successful cyberattack could see thousands – even millions – of people affected. As such, we all need to be careful, and we all need to watch out for hackers and scammers.
It will have been hard to miss the major news that hit the mainstream media over the last couple of weeks. The latest Tesco cyberattack appears to have now concluded, and the news so far looks to suggest that it was a near-miss event.
Hopefully, this will mean that no one will have to endure their personal information being misused or exposed. Anyone who is the victim of a data breach can be entitled to claim compensation for the loss of control of their personal information if this happens.
Both online retailers and high street retailers can deal with thousands upon thousands of transactions every day. With so many payment details taken and recorded on their systems, it is unsurprising that retailers are prime targets for cybercriminals. However, where businesses fail to act against this external threat, they can bear at least part of the responsibility for retail data breach compensation claims.
When exposed, the personal information held by retailers can be at high risk, exposing victims to theft and fraud. Moreover, the emotional impact of such incidents can be severe, causing those affected to suffer significant stress and worry.
Customers should be valued not neglected, which is why it is unforgivable when retailers fail to properly protect the private information that has been disclosed to them. If a third party is found to be responsible for a data breach that affected you, you could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds in damages as part of a data breach compensation claim. We can advise you on a no-obligation basis if you think you may have a claim to make.
Even before the popularity of online shopping, it was possible for customers to fall victim to data misuse, with criminals carrying out hacks of card machines to gain access to payment details. Now, with online shopping on a constant upturn, many of us share our personal information with third-party companies on a regular basis online. If these companies fail to protect our information, we can fall prey to retail data breaches.
In fact, because of the wealth of card data held by retailers, they are a prime target for cybercriminals. Online retailers were arguably put at an increased risk during the past year’s lockdown periods, during which many people turned to online shopping to make their purchases, a fact that fraudsters were all too aware of.
Regardless of the potential increase in cybercrime, the data controllers themselves can bear the responsibility when a data breach does occur. Retailers have a legal obligation to protect personal information, and when they fail in this duty, they could be liable to pay thousands of pounds in compensation when victims make a data breach claim.
