Ignoring Cyberattacks Increases Risks of Data Breaches

Ignoring cyberattacks and the increasing risks of data breaches is the worst thing that any organisation could do, as they must do all they can to protect the information in their charge.

Any organisation that fails to sufficiently protect information can be negligent, which can mean that the victim of a data breach can claim compensation for any distress suffered by the loss of control of their personal data. We pursue such cases on a No Win, No Fee basis for eligible clients, and you can contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

Ignoring cyberattacks and the lessons that can be learned

This may sound obvious, but ignoring cyberattacks is the absolute worst thing that any organisation could possibly think to do. It is not just about ignoring cyberattacks that may have happened to an organisation, but it is also about making sure to take heed of cyberattacks affecting other organisations as well.

Data protection affects us all, and the responsibility to protect information that is being stored and processed is absolutely huge.  All organisations have a duty in accordance with the GDPR to do everything they can to prevent cyberattacks from being successful. As hackers continually evolve their methods, organisations must take heed of near-miss events and successful attacks on other organisations. They must carefully consider what could have gone wrong or what may have gone wrong elsewhere in order to make sure that they can prevent an attack being successful against them. Ignoring cyberattacks and the importance of learning from them is only ever going to lead to potential open goals for criminals to exploit.

What victims of a data breach can do

Anyone whose information has been misused or exposed as a result of a cyberattack, or any form of data breach, could be entitled to bring a GDPR claim for privacy compensation. This is the pursuit of a legal case for the distress that has been suffered by any loss of control of personal information. If any monetary losses or expenses are involved then these can be considered too. In most cases, victims are claiming for distress alone.

The victim of a data breach could be entitled to recover thousands of pounds in damages for any distress that they have suffered from, and we can represent eligible clients on a No Win, No Fee basis now.
