Data Breach | Lawsuits and Legal Assistance
As more information is stored in computer systems, data centers, and cloud storage platforms, the risk of a data breach only continues to grow.
These attacks can catch anyone off guard, from small businesses to large corporations.
However, the true victims of a data breach are the customers and users who have had their sensitive information leaked. This can also affect healthcare patients in cases of a HIPAA data breach involving medical records.
How a Data Breach Can Affect You
When your personal information is stolen, you could fall victim to a number of different scenarios:
- Identity theft
- Stolen credit card
- Biometric data stolen (fingerprints, facial recognition, etc…)
- Health insurance penalties
- Compromised bank accounts
- Personal data sold to advertising and spam agencies
- Confidential photos and conversations leaked
- Personally identifiable information used across the world
Perhaps the worst aspect is that after a data breach occurs, these scenarios may manifest up to years after the initial cyber-attack.
The magnitude of these threats is just part of the reason why companies can be sued for how they handle a data breach.
