Data Breach Cases

Data Breach - The Basics

A data breach occurs when unauthorized individuals or entities gain access to sensitive information stored by a company, government organization, or any entity responsible for safeguarding your data. These breaches can expose personal data, such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, credit card information, and more. With this information, cybercriminals can commit identity theft, fraud, or other malicious activities.

Why Data Breaches Are a Concern

Data breaches pose a significant risk to individuals and organizations for several reasons:

Identity Theft: Criminals can use your personal information to steal your identity, opening accounts or conducting transactions in your name.

Financial Loss: Your financial assets and credit can be severely impacted by fraudulent activities.

Reputation Damage: Your personal and professional reputation may suffer if your sensitive data is exposed.

Why do you Need a Data Breach Attorney?

In many cases, if your information was exposed, it is usually because the company storing the data did not take appropriate steps to safeguard it. Individuals affected by data breaches can be compensated for any risk or loss they face from the breach by filing a lawsuit.
