You may be eligible to claim Marriott data breach compensation if you’ve yet to sign-up for legal representation.

This was a huge breach with around 500m people affected across the globe. Personal and contact information had been exposed since 2014 in some cases. Payment card data was also exposed in the breach, potentially leaving victims at an imminent risk of fraud.

We can help victims claiming Marriott data breach compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay for our legal fees if the case doesn’t win, so long as you abide by the T’s and C’s of our agreement.

Are you a victim of the Marriott data breach?

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.

York Council data breach

The York City Council data breach revealed at the end of November appears to be another avoidable breach from a local authority.

In this incident, an IT expert inadvertently stumbled across a huge vulnerability in the York City Council’s environmental app, named One Plant York. The app, which has since been taken down, had some 6,000 users and was aimed at promoting environmental protection. Unfortunately, a vulnerability in the app’s coding led to the personal and private information of the 6,000 users being compromised.

Start your Equifax data breach claim today

You can start your Equifax data breach claim today. We’re offering No Win, No Fee arrangements, and we’re confident we will win the action.

We’re confident we will win your Equifax data breach claim for a number of reasons. The main factor here is that this breach was completely preventable. It was caused by Equifax failing to patch a known security vulnerability. On top of that, they also failed to identify the ongoing vulnerability.

Equifax have since accepted that their security was inadequate. Because this breach was preventable, we’re confident we can win our legal case against them.

British Airways data breach compensation

You could be eligible to make a British Airways data breach compensation claim if you were affected by the recent breach.

We’ve launched our legal action for victims affected by the breach. Anyone who made certain purchases, bookings or booking changes during the breach period may be affected.

This was a serious and preventable breach in our view. Full card numbers, expiration dates and security codes (CVV) were exposed. We feel that there were a number of steps that British Airways could have taken to have prevented the breach as well. Both of these are major factors in our legal case against them.

Newegg data breach compensation action

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.

NHS Digital data breach compensation action

We have a legal action under way for NHS Digital data breach compensation because of the 150,000 patients whose opt-out instructions were not honoured.

The patients, who had all registered for a “type 2 Opt-out” of their data being shared for things like auditing, could be entitled to claim for data breach compensation as part of our action. As a result of a coding error in the software used by GPs to record their instructions to op-out resulting in the objections not being recorded and shared properly the patients have had their private and sensitive medical information passed on.

If you have been affected by the issue and you want to claim, we can help.

Legal claims launched as British Airways data breach hits 380,000

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

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.
