You may be able to claim in the Cathay Pacific data breach compensation action if you were a victim of the recent incident.
Almost 10m passengers from around the world have had personal and sensitive data exposed in this latest airliner breach. News of the incident broke just weeks after the huge British Airways legal action was launched, which we’re representing victims for.
Cathay Pacific has pledged to ensure all customers are informed if their data was exposed. If you’ve been informed that your data was exposed in the breach, we can help you if you’re based in England or Wales.
If you’re a victim of the monumental Marriott data breach, we may be able to help you claim compensation.
The Marriott data breach has to be the super breach of 2018. Some 500 million customers whose data was on the Starwood reservations database has been compromised. The breach period appears to have been from 2014 up until 10th September 2018. That’s a four-year exposure period!
Marriott International acquired the Starwood chain in 2016. As far as we’re aware, the affected customers were all on a separate Starwood reservations database.
According to reports and investigations, Amazon data breach incidents are being caused by employees taking bribes for information.
The news of the bribes comes at quite a sensitive time for the online marketplace platform. Amazon remains embroiled in issues over inferior and dangers products being sold after it opened its platform to a wider world audience.
News of the Amazon data breach scandals is also among the issues over paid-for fake reviews. The issue of employee bribes for selling data is a particularly worrying issue.
It’s not too late to join the claim Equifax cyber attack compensation. We started a legal action last year, but you can still start a case now.
Equifax were recently fined £500,000.00 by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a result of the cyber attack. Despite the fact that the organisation turns over billions each year, the attack took place before the GDPR came into force. This meant that the maximum fine that the ICO could issue was the one they were given.
Victims of the Equifax cyber attack can be entitled to justice by claiming for data breach compensation. The cost of the claims should be met by Equifax and should act as a greater punishment for this avoidable attack.
You can start your Ticketmaster data breach claim with us today. It’s easy and hassle-free, and you’re joining a group of others already claiming.
As a firm of data breach experts (clue is in the name) who are representing victims in over 20 different data breach actions, where else do you need to look?
We initiated legal action for victims of the Ticketmaster data breach as soon as the news broke about it. We’re confident we can win the legal case we’ve started. Here’s some more advice about joining the action and what it entails!
We’re launching a Newegg data breach compensation action after news broke that the hackers behind the British Airways data breach appear to have struck again.
A vulnerability in the Newegg website allowed hackers to digitally “skim” payment information in the same fashion as the BA data breach. The company has yet to release full information about the breach, but we’re launching legal action now.
Newegg has admitted that they have identified malware that had been injected into their servers. We can only estimate at this stage that customers’ personal and payment data may have been compromised.
The Equifax data breach fine issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has hit the maximum limit of £500,000.00.
The 2017 Equifax data breach resulted in some 700,000 UK citizens put at risk from data exposure. In total, around 15 million records were actually compromised.
This was a major breach for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was preventable; taking place because an employee failed to patch a known security vulnerably. Secondly, because the damage could have been lessened had Equifax have had proper systems in place to spot such a breach. Thirdly, because of who Equifax are. This is a company who is a credit-reference agency. The fact that a data breach has happened to them is incredibly worrying.
Legal claims have been launched as the British Airways data breach revealed last week has hit some 380,000 customers.
Card numbers, expiry dates and security codes (CVV) have been exposed in the attack, together with the personal details of the victims.
This is an incredibly serious data breach that will likely result in a significant fine that could amount to £500m for breaches of the new GDPR that came into force in May 2018. Victims of the British Airways data breach can be eligible to launch a legal case for any financial loss, distress and inconvenience caused with us as well.
Data breach fatigue is said to be growing because of the sheer volume of data breaches that are happening on a continual basis.
In case you’re not aware, data breach fatigue is the idea that people are becoming less and less bothered about data breaches because they’re happening all the time. It’s almost as if there’s no longer a ‘uniqueness’ to the concept of someone falling victim to a data breach, and this can lead to a ‘group think’ kind of scenario where each individual’s interest in the risk can be diluted.
It’s said to be growing, and this could be very bad news for all of us.
The Yahoo hacker sentenced to a five-year prison term is reportedly being forced to pay the value of his entire assets of $2,250,000.00 as a fine.
The 23-year-old with Canadian citizenship admitted to hacking some 11,000 accounts between 2010 and 2017, allegedly on behalf of Russian agents who tasked him with hacking specific targets of interest to them.
The Yahoo hacking and data breach scandals have been amongst the biggest in the history of the world, with billions of accounts reportedly compromised.
Business data protection is simply not up-to-scratch. As organisations plough billions into digital technologies, cybersecurity is getting left behind.
Recent figures suggested that two-thirds of businesses are currently embroiled in what are known as “digital transformation” projects, with spending on software increasing by 50pc. But what’s missing is the respect for cybersecurity and the understanding of the threats businesses are facing, and as a result, countless organisations are falling short.
Unless business data protection is treated as the priority it needs to be, breaches and hacks may never stop.
A key question right now is whether there is a Ticketmaster GDPR fine on the horizon. With the Ticketmaster data breach being the big data news recently, what punishments are they set to face?
We’ve already taken cases on for victims of the Ticketmaster data breach, and although any fine or penalty issued by the UK’s data watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), is independent of the legal action we’re taking, we’re closely monitoring the ICO developments.
Given the dates that the data was exposed, they could be set for a GDPR fine, and we think this would be justified.
