cyberattacks at property firms

Cyberattacks at property firms

Property firms are sometimes highlighted as targets for cyberattacks given that the data they hold could be of significant value to cybercriminals. This is due to the extent of personal information that needs to be recorded to manage properties and complete buying and renting transactions. Cyberattacks at property firms can, therefore, represent a significant threat to data security, which is why it is vital for these companies to ensure that they have appropriate data protection procedures and cybersecurity measures in place.

Successful cyberattacks at property firms could result in fraud, scams and significant distress for the victims, so we are here to help those affected through such a difficult situation. We have represented many victims of data exposure for compensation claims, allowing victims to achieve justice for any harm caused.

If you wish to take action after a data breach, making a claim is a key means of holding those who caused the incident to account.

cyberattacks affecting employees

Cyberattacks affecting employees

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.

At Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – we have been representing claimants for matters relating to data privacy since 2014, honing our expertise in this still-developing area of law. We strongly believe that anyone who has been affected by a data breach should be able to access legal representation. If your privacy has been compromised by a data controller, contact us to receive free, no-obligation advice about your potential claim.

breach of confidential information at a GP
March 22, 2023

Breach of confidential information at a GP surgery

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.
