healthcare data breach spikes
July 11, 2022

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years have been triggered by the increasing digitisation of society, and as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, whilst efficiency can be achieved through moving how we work and how we operate into digital infrastructure, the risks can be substantial. Any defence when it comes to information is only as good as its weakest link, and we saw cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic where healthcare industry staff were under substantial amounts of pressure in managing the virus.

Whilst we can see the reasoning as to how these spikes occur, the importance of data protection cannot be understated. When it comes to the impact on the victims, we are here as Specialist Data Breach Lawyers to help people.

Cloud data leaks: claiming compensation

We may see more and more cloud data leaks as society continues to move toward digital hosting and pulls away from physical hardware situated in an actual business premises.

A huge amount of the infrastructure that is now being deployed is used and stored in the cloud, so it is vulnerable to errors that can lead to leaks, or cyberattacks that can compromise whole systems.

Any defence is only as good as its weakest link, and the exact same can be said for how well protected and how secure information is from employee error. This is why defences, training, policies, and procedures must be the absolute best that they can be.

Lichfield District Council – one example of poor data security

A previous meeting at Lichfield District Council told of the reportedly poor attitude toward data protection at the council, which was apparently described by one councillor as “verging on negligent”. We do hope that these issues have now been resolved, as the security issues could put the council in breach of the GDPR.

Every organisation and individual is required by law to handle information with caution and with respect for the right to data privacy, so any failures in this duty could be subject to enforcement and punishment. In addition, many victims affected by data breaches may have a right to claim compensation from those who failed to protect the personal data that they are responsible for. We support victims to assert their rights when it comes to data protection, so contact us for advice if you think your rights have been breached. We may be able to help you on a No Win, No Fee basis.
