Cybercrime may well have been strengthened by the coronavirus pandemic, so the risk to personal information is at a high point.<\/p>\n<p>For cybercriminals, the most effective cyberattacks are often those which are highly manipulative, backing their victims into a corner and leaving them defenceless. These cyberattacks can be capable of causing immense distress to the victims, which can last for months or even years after the breach.<\/p>\n<p>However, cybercriminals are not the only threat to personal data. Many companies fail to implement adequate cybersecurity measures, leaving the information in their possession in a more vulnerable position. If a third-party organisation has failed to protect your data, they may be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>liable to pay compensation<\/strong><\/a>. No one should feel forced to accept a data breach, so<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <strong>contact us for advice<\/strong><\/a> if you think you may have a compensation claim to make.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Highly malicious cyberattacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most malicious cyberattacks often place the attacked organisations and the victims in an almost impossible situation. Ransomware, which reportedly soared massively in 2020, is one such form of cyberattack. It can enable cybercriminals to take control of a computer system or network, then a ransom can be demanded in return for restoring control of the system to the attacked organisation.<\/p>\n<p>While paying a ransom could seem like the only way to protect personal data there is, of course, no guarantee that the criminals will keep their side of the bargain.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, some particularly malicious cyberattacks target incredibly sensitive data. For example, cybercriminals will likely perceive your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/medical-records-data-breach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>private medical records<\/strong><\/a> as more potent fuel for blackmail than a few contact details, which is why these kind of information can be targeted.<\/p>\n<p>A recent ransomware attack on The Hospital Group, a cosmetic surgery clinic chain, yielded highly private information for the hackers. Among other personal data, the hackers claimed that they had more than 900 gigabytes of patient photographs, described as \u201cbefore and after\u201d photos. On their darknet website, the hacker group taunted victims by stating that the photos were &#8220;not a completely pleasant sight&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We are currently representing people affected by The Hospital Group data incident.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Responding to cyberattacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many organisations fail to prepare for the kind of malicious cyberattacks described above, taking risks in the belief that they are unlikely to be targeted. When organisations fail to implement proper cybersecurity measures, they may be breaching data protection law, which can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>entitle victims to claim compensation in the event of a data breach<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After taking precautions to ensure your private accounts are protected after a cyberattack, your next step may be to investigate the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>making a compensation claim<\/strong><\/a>. We can often tell you if you are eligible to claim within minutes, and if you can join a high-profile group action claim, such as our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/equifax-data-breach-compensation-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Equifax group action<\/strong><\/a> or our <strong>British Airways group action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In a claim, victims can typically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>recover compensation<\/strong><\/a> for the distress that they have suffered, as well as any financial losses and expenses that may have been caused.
