Hackers Targeting Retailers – What Data Breach Victims Can Do

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.

We can provide free, no-obligation legal advice to victims of cyberattacks, and you can contact our team for help here now.

Another Marriott data security breach

There has been yet another Marriott data security breach with this one now being its third major incident in just a few short years.

We have taken legal action for UK victims who were affected by the previous infamous Marriott cybersecurity data breaches, so it is surprising to see yet another event hit the hotelier. We would have thought, given the previous incidents that have taken place, they would have responded to make sure that their cybersecurity prevents this sort of incident occurring. Unfortunately, given that there has been yet another incident, it appears that there are still weaknesses that cybercriminals can exploit.

NHS Data Breach Threats and Claiming Compensation

Recognising and preventing NHS data breach threats is a core part of the mission to protect our valuable healthcare service and to ensure that patient confidentiality is upheld.

A lot of the claims for data breach compensation that we represent people for involve medical information. The reason for this is because it is often targeted by hackers, and it is also often the subject of data leaks because of how much information there is and how many people are involved. At the same time, this kind of information generally can have a substantial impact on the victim if it is misused or exposed, which often leads people to instruct us for a claim for compensation.
