In June 2021 it came to light that more than 100 special forces troops were publicly identified in an email security breach. As the names of individuals who are in special forces units are kept strictly in confidence, this is a serious data breach that could have serious repercussions on UK intelligence as well as those whose data has been disclosed. The breach included the details of:
These troops’ data was included in a list of individuals who were getting promoted and an error saw the list being emailed to hundreds of civil servants and soldiers with any level of security clearance.
If you are one of the troops whose personal data was involved in the breach then you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation. We can put you in contact with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together a large number of special forces troops.
Compensation is payable not only for specific financial or other losses you have experienced but also for any distress caused by the data breach which could have left you exposed to a huge amount of risk given the nature of your role.

Data breach experts
We use dedicated data breach solicitors who have handled thousands of data breach claims
People have the right to expect that any personal data that they have shared with an organisation, like the special forces, is securely stored and handled. When data protection standards have fallen short, and in this case a careless error led to prohibited personal data of troops being exposed, you can make a claim for compensation. If that information fell into the wrong hands it could be fatal for those whose details were involved and the thought of which would cause a great deal of distress and concern.
If you think you could have a valid special forces data breach claim then get in touch with us and we will put you in contact with data breach experts who will make enquiries for you and confirm whether or not you have a valid claim worth pursuing.
We can put you in touch with legal experts who are putting together a group claim whereby the troops can be part of a collective claim for special forces data breach compensation.
