In their housing branch, Flagship Homes, they are understood to currently employ over 1,200 staff and own and manage 31,000 homes in England. Based on these figures, it could be that a significant number of people have been affected by the incident.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About the Flagship Group data breach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Flagship Group data breach was the result of a major cyberattack that stemmed from ransomware software known as <em>Sodinokibi<\/em>. It is likely that those behind the attack are using this as a ransomware effort to lock Flagship Group out of their own systems by encrypting their data so the criminals can charge a ransom fee to decrypt the locked files and information.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of attack usually comes with the threat of intentionally leaking data in the event that a ransom is not paid as well.<\/p>\n<p>Flagship Group has informed the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), Action Fraud and the Regulator of Social Housing about the data breach. They are also working with the National Cybersecurity Centre and the National Crime Agency as part of ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst it is understood that no customers have been informed if they have been affected by the Flagship Group data breach yet, the official statement from Flagship Group has warned customers to stay vigilant when it comes to calls and emails as they could be attempted scams. After the investigation has concluded, and they know exactly how many people have been affected, victims should be informed without delay.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Data breach compensation claims<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are informed that your data has been breached as part of the Flagship Group cyberattack, you could be eligible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>make a data breach compensation claim<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the extent of the breach and exactly what personal information was exposed or misused can depend on what you may be eligible to claim for.<\/p>\n<p>There are generally two parts of a claim we can make when it comes to data breaches. The first is for General Damages which can include a claim for the loss of control of your personal data when your information is exposed or leaked.
