When data protection is too late after a cyberattack

It is too late to treat data protection with the seriousness that is required after a cyberattack has taken place, and information has already been exposed.

Despite the obviousness of this, and the stringent GDPR legislation in place, too many organisations are still failing to take action to stop a cyberattack rather than taking action after it has happened. The result is that many people can suffer when they lose control over their personal information which ends up in the hands of criminals.

Anyone affected by a data breach could be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation with our leading privacy claims experts now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Compensation for data breaches from phishing emails

You could be eligible to claim compensation for data breaches from phishing emails and attacks where they are successful and your information has been misused or exposed.

The GDPR means that our rights are enshrined in law in terms of our information being protected, and our right to control over it. If the GDPR is breached, that is when an organisation can be negligent and, therefore, can be responsible to compensate a victim for what has happened.
