Airline data breach
May 25, 2020

easyJet data breach: the biggest of 2020?

Last week, the easyJet data breach hit the headlines and may have become the biggest incident in 2020 so far, and it may remain as that for the rest of the year.

When you look at how this compares to other recent incidents, which we’ll outline below, it’s a staggering number. It seems likely that this will go down as one of the biggest incidents of all time to hit the UK.

Our expert data breach lawyers are also investigating the issues as the airline undertakes the mammoth job of notifying millions of customers that their personal data has been exposed in the breach.

Watford Community Housing data breach compensation

If you’ve been affected by the recent Watford Community Housing data breach, you may be entitled to claim compensation with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.

A huge number of victims have come forward and asked our team for help and assistance, and we’ve taken several legal cases forward. The data leak, classed as a “human error” incident where a spreadsheet containing customers’ information was accidentally sent by email to people, is a serious one. Some of the data in the spreadsheet included incredibly personal and sensitive information such as disability details, sexual orientation and religious beliefs.

This is a breach of the GDPR and victims can be entitled to claim compensation for the stress caused by the loss of control of their personal information.
