Protecting personal data now
T e current coronavirus pandemic has created other risks, including posing a real threat to data protection
Opportunistic cybercriminals are
exploiting the current lockdown situ- ation, with increased phishing attacks and data breaches being reported. Action Fraud cited a 400% increase
in corona-virus related incidents between 1 February and 18 March, while the National Cyber Security Centre has taken 471 fake shopping websites offl ine in the past month, purporting
to sell essential virus
protection items such as face masks and handwash. Staying home during the corona-
virus crisis is essential, but as we try to replicate our lives utilising tech- nology, staying safe online is also
“Ensuring hypervigilance and implementing simple precautions will help to minimise the risk and devastating consequences of a data breach”
critical. Recent phishing attacks have appeared very authentic, seemingly off ering timely information or help during the pandemic. Reported crimes have included text messages and emails falsely claiming
to be from HMRC or the World Health Organization (WHO), among others. A greater reliance on technology
during this challenging period provides cybercriminals with more opportunities to steal personal infor- mation. Ensuring hypervigilance and implementing simple precautions will help to minimise the risk and devas- tating consequences of a data breach. Best-practice tips for preventing
cybercriminals from accessing private information include using unique login details and passwords for every website used; checking the original source of a link that appears to be from an offi cial body received via text or email before clicking on it; and using a credit card for online payments for enhanced payment protection. Hayes Connor Solicitors is a cyber-
crime and data breach specialist law fi rm representing individuals who have suff ered a data breach leading to actual, or potential, fi nancial or psychological damage. Its team of experts understand the
devastation suff ered by victims of cybercrime and data breaches. Acting for individuals following a data breach or cybercrime, Hayes Connor Solicitors is currently involved in a number of group actions against British Airways, Equifax, Ticketmaster, Marriott Inter- national, Dixons Carphone and others. T e Hayes Connor team of cyber-
crime and data breach experts also act on individual claims.
