BAME drivers claim that Uber’s facial identification software is discriminating against them. If shown to be true, this is not only a worker’s right issue, but also a clear breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The UK’s data protection watchdog – The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – has issued new guidance to help political parties achieve data protection compliance
The UK’s privacy regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has released figures which show that reported cyber related incidents have increased by 36% compared to the same quarter last year. The report, which covers July – October 2020, also revealed a 58% increase in reported data breaches because of unauthorised access, and a 289% surge in ransomware incidents.
In a world that is increasingly digital, cyber-attacks are going to happen. So, organisations must also take out insurance to cover the risk of cybercrime.
In 2020, highly sophisticated hackers successfully carried out a cyber-attack on discount airline EasyJet. The information breached in this hack included the email addresses and travel details of nine million people and the financial details of 2,208 customers.
If you were informed that your information was breached*, it is essential that you understand the risks and take steps to protect yourself.
We have launched a no-win, no-fee group litigation action against EasyJet after a data breach in 2020 put millions of customers at risk.
If you have been affected by the EasyJet data breach, we can help you to claim compensation. But what evidence will we ask you to provide if you join our group action claim?
The ICO has shown a willingness to come down hard on companies that breach data protection legislation, with huge fines issued against BA and Marriott, so it is unclear why it is refusing to take decisive action against RTB.
Enshrined in the GDPR, the right of access or SAR (subject access request), permits individuals to obtain copies of their personal data controlled by organisations. This month, SAR rules were clarified by the ICO, but compliance may prove difficult for many.
In May 2020, EasyJet hit the headlines when it was revealed that the email addresses and travel details of nine million people and the financial details of 2,208 customers had been breached. But it is not clear if the budget airline comprehends how significant this breach is. Or, if it does, it certainly is not owning up to it.
When news of this breach broke, the Police Federation told victims of this data breach that they did not have a claim. We disagreed with the assessment and started a test case against Equiniti.
According to Action Fraud, there have been a number of reports in relation to the EasyJet data breach. As of May this year, there had been 51 reports in relation to the breach at the airline, with a total of £11,752.81 in stated losses.
