“We have been investigating this case since the day the breach was announced, and we believe that, while Capita was hacked, poor processes within the business ultimately made a successful attack possible. To put it bluntly, Capita negligently lost the confidential data. If we are right, and security failures at Capita made this hack possible, it must be held accountable. We are already helping hundreds of victims to claim compensation for the loss and distress they are experiencing because of this hack, and we encourage anyone else involved in this shocking data protection failure to register today.”
