We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
News of the Funky Pigeon cybersecurity incident has recently been in the media following a cyberattack that has resulted in the platform shutting down services in response to the event.
It remains to be seen what data may have been exposed, although the company appears to be confident that no payment information has been affected. Despite this, there can still be a number of dangers for anyone affected, and people who have previously used the site will need to be vigilant.
For victims of serious council data breaches, it can be important to claim compensation to achieve some form of justice for what you have had to go through.
The GDPR can entitle you to claim compensation for any distress that is caused by the loss of control of your personal information, and you could be awarded thousands of pounds in damages. Your Lawyers, as leading Data Leak Lawyers, has a current average settlement award of just over £6,000 in damages alone for mostly individual clients. This shows that the law can ensure that victims are fairly compensated, and that our significant experience in this area of law can lead to high pay-outs.
We know some other firms that have only more recently started looking into data cases are settling quickly and cheaply, which may not allow for full justice for the victims. Our experience, having worked in this area of law for almost a decade, speaks for itself. Never get duped into accepting anything less than you deserve.
You could be eligible to claim compensation if you have suffered due to information stolen from the government that then has had an impact on you.
You have rights, and no one is above the law; not even the government. Whilst it may not always feel like this is the case, they can be held to account for a data breach, and victims can be entitled to seek justice.
Your Lawyers, as leading Data Leak Lawyers, have taken on the government for cases on many occasions, and we are not afraid to do so when it comes to making sure that our clients can access the justice that they deserve. We can even provide No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible clients now.
We are taking legal action following being approached for help in respect of the Emma Sleep cyberattack that may have resulted in personal details and card payment data being exposed.
It is understood that the company has been notifying customers that they may have been caught up in a cyberattack where payment information may have been scraped from their website. Anyone affected by this incident could now be at an immediate risk of fraud and theft, so victims will need to be vigilant about being targeted. Changing access credentials, regularly checking your finances and speaking to your bank would all be good first steps.
We have accepted instructions to act on a No Win, No Fee basis in pursuit of data breach compensation. As leading Data Leak Lawyers, we fight for the rights of those who have been wronged in data events, and we may be able to help you now.
In our digital age, cybercriminals are constantly seeking new methods of stealing and misusing information, typically for their own financial gain. Your private data can be a key tool for criminals, as it can give them a direct route via which to target you. As a result, when your personal information is exposed, it can lead to fraudsters accessing your computer and your private accounts in some cases.
As cybercrime continues to grow, it is vital that third-party data controllers do all they can to protect the personal information which they store and process. From local councils to huge corporations, many kinds of organisations hold extensive personal information, and all must abide by data protection law to ensure it stays safe. Unfortunately, we still do not see satisfactory data protection across the board.
No one should have to contend with fraudsters’ deceitful tactics. If your data falls into the hands of criminals as a result of a third-party data breach, you could be entitled to claim compensation. The law is there to allow you to assert your rights in such situations, and our expert team of lawyers can help you to do so.
Scams can arise from data breaches, leaks and hacks, and this is one of the additional worries and stresses that victims of privacy incidents must be vigilant about.
This is why the GDPR can entitle the victim of a data breach to claim compensation for any distress caused by the loss of control of their private information. The threat of a possible scam can be very distressing, and this can be considered as part of a legal case.
Your Lawyers, as leading Data Leak Lawyers, know all too well how badly victims of privacy breaches can be impacted. We represent thousands of people for data claims, and we have recovered over £1m in damages to date for mostly individual clients. We can help you now.
You could be eligible to pursue a compensation claim for identity theft if the details used stem from a data breach, leak or hack. We may be able to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Information is valuable and can end up in the hands of criminals who can then target people to commit fraud and theft. Victims who are either targeted or lose money could be eligible to claim, as you do not have to have lost money to be able to recover damages for a data breach.
Your Lawyers – as leading Data Leak Lawyers – are here to help with our vast and enviable experience in this niche and complex area of law.

We are around the second anniversary mark of the discovery of the Virgin Media data breach that was first revealed in the media in March 2020.
Since news broke that some 900,000 people – mainly customers – had been subjected to their personal information being exposed, we quickly launched legal action for justice. Two years on, we are now representing thousands of claimants – all on a No Win, No Fee basis – as part of our Virgin Media Group Action for compensation.
You still have time to sign up for a legal case, but do not delay any further – we are already at an advanced stage for many of the clients that we represent, and there can be cut-off dates imposed by courts for joining an action. You risk missing out unless you get on it now and start your case, and since we are working on a No Win, No Fee basis, what have you got to lose?
