The dangers of a cloud data leak
A cloud data leak could arise where personal information is misused and/or exposed when it is being stored on a cloud database. Cloud databases are incredibly common these days as technology moves us more and more toward a fully digitised society, and some cloud storage platforms could consist of databases for many different organisations.
The risks of being targeted – and the risks of something going wrong – must always be treated as incredibly significant. Hackers do target these platforms as one attack could lead to the information for millions of people being at risk. As such, there is no circumstance in which the threat of this kind of breach should ever be understated.
Claim compensation for a data breach
The risks of a cloud data leak can be significant when it comes to security. It may only take one simple cyberattack and the information for millions of people could then be misused or exposed.
Given how much information is now stored in cloud databases, the impact of such a data breach could be monumental.
If you have been affected by a cloud data leak, you could be eligible to claim compensation for any distress caused by the loss of control of your personal information. It could be that a cloud provider is responsible having been the victim of a cyberattack, or having inadvertently leaked personal information, or allowed access to databases. It could be that a service user of a cloud database has fallen victim to a cyberattack or has had their credentials leaked, causing an unauthorised access event.
Ultimately, if personal information has been misused or exposed, the GDPR can make you eligible to claim compensation. Even if it is a cyberattack, you can still be eligible to claim as the organisation who has been attacked may have failed in their duty to protect themselves from an attack. If they failed to do all they can to protect themselves then they have ultimately failed to protect you also.
