Cloud data breaches and what can be done
In today’s digital age, cloud data breaches are becoming more and more common, and they are set to continue to be more common as more of the world moves toward this way of working.
It is no secret that the Coronavirus Pandemic has potentially helped to push more organisations into this way of working and thinking as well. When many of us were suddenly faced with the need to stay in and work from home, this forced some businesses to adapt there and then.
Security, however, is a very important part of this. It is inexcusable to leave personal information open and accessible in the cloud, and victims whose personal information is misused or exposed could be eligible to claim compensation.
Claim for loss of control following a data breach
There are number of consequences to data breaches, with victims often suffering stress or anxiety, and sometimes becoming vulnerable to data misuse and cybercrime. Traditionally, data breach claims have been brought for reasons of distress and financial loss but, as this area of law continues to develop and gain traction, it is now also possible to claim for loss of control of personal data as part of this.
It is established in law that all organisations have a duty to protect the personal information that they hold, ensuring that appropriate data protection procedures are followed, and that strong cybersecurity defences are imposed. Unfortunately, despite the mass digitisation of personal information and the continuing evolution of hackers and cybercriminals, many companies still fail to take their data protection duties seriously.
Virgin Media is one among many companies to have compromised personal data in recent years, having been responsible for the exposure of around 900,000 people’s private information. We believe that Virgin Media must answer for its breach of data protection law, which is why we are taking on compensation claims for any victims affected by the incident. Victims can sign up for a legal case here now.
