Websites, systems and services have been offline for over a week after the Flagship Group cyberattack hit the housing company.
An official statement from Flagship Group’s website informs us that, on the 1st November 2020, a major cyberattack occurred that has resulted in most of their systems being taken offline. In quick response to the attack, Flagship Homes took many of their systems and services down to prevent the spread of the event.
It is currently unknown exactly how many people have been affected by the Flagship Group cyberattack. However, it has been confirmed that some personal data has been compromised in the breach. Flagship Group has warned customers to be wary of potential cold calls and phishing emails that could result in fraudulent activity.
Council data breach claims are one of the most common types of individual compensation cases that we take forward for people on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We represent thousands of clients for cases, and many involve some local authorities in some way. They often hold a great deal of information, and a lot of it can be incredibly personal and sensitive. As such, the impact of a council data breach can be substantial, and this is accounted for in a case.
Damages claims can be in the thousands of pounds for just the distress that a victim can suffer from the misuse of their private information. Here’s some advice about when you could claim, what you could claim for, and some guidance about how our No Win, No Fee representation works.
The GDPR can apply for council data breaches that have taken place after the new laws came into force in May 2018, and we represent clients for cases on a No Win, No Fee basis.
These kinds of cases are one of the most common types of claims that we deal with when it comes to individual legal cases. The impact for the victim given the nature of the information that local authorities can hold can be substantial, so it’s important that victims have a voice for justice.
Here’s some guidance about when you may be able to claim, how the GDPR can allow you to receive compensation, and speaking to our team for information about our No Win, No Fee representation.
If you have suffered as a victim of a local council data breach, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation with our team on a No Win, No Fee basis.
The law is on your side and it’s there to be used if you’re ever the victim of an incident where personal information has been exposed or misused. We represent thousands of people for data breach cases and many involve local authorities, so you are not alone, and you have a voice for justice.
Here’s a little guidance in terms of when you may be able to bring a legal case and what you could be eligible to claim for.
Council data breach compensation claims are some of the most common legal cases that we take forward, and the impact on the victims can be substantial.
Councils and local authority agencies often hold a great deal of information about thousands and thousands of people. This can include financial and employment data for council tax matters, and even medical data for benefits or social services matters. It can be the full range of data, which means that the impact on a victim can be substantial.
We can offer No Win, No Fee representation for compensation claims arising from councils and local authority agencies like social services.
Mr Justice Warby has given the go ahead for the BA group action court case to proceed as our firm is appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for the conduct of proceedings.
We have been fighting for the rights of BA data breach victims since news of the breaches came to light, representing thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve also been successful in ensuring that the deadline to claim is not as short as the lawyers for British Airways had originally wanted.
If you’re not sure whether you were affected by the BA data breach incidents of 2018, or if you’re not sure that you can do about it, we can help.
You should have been informed if your information has been at risk of exposure because BA should have told you by now. Whether they have or haven’t, there’s a really simple way that you can find out today if you’re eligible to join the BA Group Action.
All you need to do is go to the BA Group Action site here and answer the initial questions. This doesn’t sign you up for a claim but does allow you to know if you can join the group action or not. And with an important court hearing taking place this Friday, now is the time to get your case sorted if you’ve yet to finalise it.
It’s important to understand that the £183m British Airways data breach fine and the action for compensation for victims are two different things.
The £183m fine that’s provisionally been issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is designed to be a punishment and a deterrent. Money from the fine will normally go to the treasury and is not for the victims of the breach, and that’s why we have our separate action for justice.
For the victims to be able to claim compensation, you’ll need to be a part of the pending group action that will likely be pursued in the courts. You can sign-up to join our claimant group here.
