<\/p>\n

Impact of university data breaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The impact of university data breaches can be significant given the nature of the information that they store and process for a wealth of people. Not only is there the usual contact information, but there may also be sensitive information about medical and domestic situations for student support. In addition, there may also be data for financial reasons for student fees and costs which, if they fall into the wrong hands, could be used for fraud and theft.<\/p>\n

There is also potentially valuable research information that foreign threat actors may look to target, and a consequence of such a cyberattack may also lead to personal information of students and staff being leaked as well. The important point here is that universities and education institutions are clear targets for cyber attackers for multiple reasons, so they must do all they can to protect the information in their charge.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the nature of the information that could be affected means that the impact of university data breaches on the victims can be significant. This is an important point to consider when we pursue actions on behalf of people.<\/p>\n

Group actions and multi-party litigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Where many people\u2019s information has been leaked, breached, misused, or otherwise exposed, it may be the case that we need to pursue group or multi-party legal action for university data breaches. We have represented people in the past for such actions where we can group cases together to run them more efficiently, which is the better way of doing things to avoid potentially thousands of people pursuing separate cases across different courts around the country.<\/p>\n

Group and multi-party actions and litigation matters are precisely what we specialise in, hence our name. A lot of the actions that we are running at the moment involve data protection matters, given how prevalent these kinds of actions have become. We have launched over 60 group and multi-party actions for data protection and privacy matters alone, and we have been fighting for justice in this niche and complex area of law for almost a decade. In cases and actions of this nature, you need true experts on your side.<\/p>\n

Free, no-obligation advice now<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have been affected by a matter that could form into a group or multi-party action, or if you need to talk to us about joining a current one that we are running, please do not hesitate to contact us here now.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Our team is always happy to provide free, no-obligation legal advice and we can let you know quickly if your case is one that we could pursue for you on a No Win, No Fee basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
