When cyberattacks hit businesses and other organisations, it is often the impact on customers that is considered, given that the exposure of their information can cause serious implications, both for them and for the reputation of the hacked organisation. Yet cyberattacks affecting employees can be equally severe, as their employers often hold extensive personal information about them.
As an employee, a data breach by your employer can put you in an uncomfortable position, leaving you unsure about what action you can take. It may feel difficult to hold your employer accountable for a cybersecurity incident but, if your data has been compromised by their actions or inaction, you may be able to make a data breach compensation claim.

We strongly believe that anyone who has been affected by a data breach should be able to access legal representation.

The medical profession is built on the principle of doctor-patient confidentiality, in which patients trust when disclosing highly sensitive information to healthcare professionals. In particular, the relationship between a patient and their GP involves a great degree of trust, as patients often visit the same GP for years. It can, therefore, be extremely distressing to suffer a breach of confidential information at a GP surgery.
Healthcare data breaches can arise in a number of different ways, whether due to the carelessness of individual employees, or the failed security of data storage systems. Unfortunately, the continued occurrence of data breaches in the healthcare sector risks breaking down the relationships between healthcare professionals and patients.
If you have had your confidential medical information exposed or compromised by your GP surgery, you could be entitled to claim compensation. The GDPR can allow victims whose rights have been violated to launch data breach claims. To receive free legal advice about your potential eligibility, contact our expert lawyers.
A previous report revealed that boxes of paper patient records and staff notes were reportedly left unsecured in a Norfolk care home following its closure several years previously. Despite past assurances of onsite security measures for the unoccupied building, it was possible for a local reporter to apparently walk onto the site through an open door, after which they found hoards of abandoned medical records left inside.
This was an example of how this kind of event could easily happen, though it was completely avoidable. Such violations of data protection law are always unacceptable, but they are particularly concerning where such sensitive information is involved.
We trust healthcare providers to do their utmost to protect our private data, so it is shocking that an organisation would neglect its data protection duties in these circumstances.
The importance of respecting data security in an organisation cannot be understated, and this is a matter that all employees within any setting should be fully aware of.
When it comes to what happens if something goes wrong, victims should know that they can use the GDPR to recover compensation for any distress and losses that have been caused. If you need help, you can speak to our legal team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

As consumers, our personal data is a valuable commodity, both to businesses and to criminals. Companies can obtain our personal information via legitimate methods, whereas cybercriminals are constantly looking for opportunities to steal information. One key means of sourcing personal data is to take advantage of details leaked in a data breach.
Whether through a targeted cyberattack or internal cybersecurity errors, the personal data held by companies can be leaked to unauthorised third parties. Given the value of private information, cybercriminals can deliberately seek to profit from vulnerabilities in companies’ systems, proceeding to then use the stolen information for their own gain.
Due to the threat of cybercrime, and their legal obligations, data controllers have a responsibility to protect the information they hold about consumers and employees. If they fail to have enough security measures in place, if information is compromised as a result, they could be liable for a breach of data protection law.
