Data breach compensation and claims
About This Settlement
Data breaches can have serious financial and emotional impacts
All organisations that hold personal information about individuals have a responsibility to keep this information safe.
If the organisation discloses this information to someone else without the person’s permission this is known as a data breach.
In March 2023, Capita was the victim of a serious cyber-attack in which the personal data of 6.6 million people was stolen, including, in some cases, people’s financial, medical and other very sensitive information. In October 2025, Capita was fined £14 million for failing to keep this personal data safe. Those affected are likely to have claims for compensation for any distress and / or financial losses suffered.
The lifting of a super injunction by the High Court in London on 15 July 2025 has revealed that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) experienced a serious data breach of the sensitive personal data of many thousands of Afghan citizens in 2022.
