It can be quite a worrying time after a data breach and it is important that you take certain steps to protect yourself, and that you know what to do to make sure that you are as secure as you possibly can be.

Firstly, if you know that any of your information has been misused and/or exposed, or is in the hands of people that could cause damage to you (such as fraudsters or criminals) then you may need to change access credentials. You may also need to contact your bank or any kind of organisations for accounts that are associated with any kind of company or organisation that is involved in the breach, or may be affected by the breach. You should be vigilant and watch out for any strange transactions on your online accounts, and you should also keep an eye out for any contact by phone or email, which could be from people trying to commit fraud against you.

It can be quite standard for organisations to offer certain protections such as fraud alerts and professional accounts with credit services after a breach which can also assist.

When it comes to data breach compensation amounts in the UK, we know that a lot of people will ask questions about this after a data breach, as people can be keen to know what they may be able to recover in compensation.

Compensation amounts for a data breach will depend on a number of factors and will be individual to the client. What we can tell you is that, because of our experience, we have already recovered over £1m in data breach damages for mostly individual victims to date. As things stand, our average settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone, so this could give you a rough idea as to what you could expect. Your case could be worth more or less than this, as it is hard to know; but this is our average settlement so far.
