Data breaches have become a growing threat, exposing sensitive personal information to cybercriminals and unscrupulous third parties. Victims may face financial losses, emotional distress, and identity theft.

In 2024 alone, over 2.6 billion personal records were reportedly compromised globally, with many UK businesses and organisations and the likes of the NHS falling victim to high-profile breaches. Cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities in company databases, stealing data such as names, addresses, bank details, and even medical records.
Once stolen, such information is often sold on the dark web, leading to data misuse by third parties who exploit it for fraud or blackmail. Victims may face unauthorised transactions, phishing scams, or damaged credit scores.
The Data Leak Lawyers has seen how these breaches disrupt lives, and we are committed to helping you secure compensation for your losses.
When companies fail to protect your data, third parties could exploit it in ways that can cause lasting harm. Data misuse by third parties often involves identity theft, where criminals may open accounts or take loans in your name, or targeted scams that manipulate victims into revealing more information.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, organisations must safeguard your data and notify you promptly of breaches. Failure to do so, or inadequate security measures, can make them liable for damages. Many victims do not realise they can claim compensation for distress alone, even without financial loss. The Data Leak Lawyers helps you hold negligent companies accountable for enabling data misuse by third parties.
Claiming data breach compensation requires proving that a company’s negligence led to your data being compromised. The Data Leak Lawyers specialises in these cases, offering no-win, no-fee representation to simplify the process. We can gather evidence, such as breach notifications and proof of harm, to build a strong case. Compensation can cover financial losses, emotional harm, and recovery costs, with awards ranging from hundreds to thousands, depending on severity. You typically have on a set period of time from the breach date to claim, which can sometimes be from when you became aware of it. Let us help you fight for justice.
If you have been affected by a data breach, do not let data misuse by third parties go unaddressed. The Data Leak Lawyers is here to guide you through the compensation process, ensuring you receive the support you deserve.
