Nixon Williams hit by Cyber Security incident

In my opinion, it would be a mistake to assume, even now after everything that's happened, that these people are in anyway competent.

I'm not sure there are even people in the office now. They're giving off all the signs of a company that's done a runner. The warnings were there that they were about to do this.

What a sh*t show.

This is going to be good for Experian's services as people sign up to monitor for identity theft.

I've had CIFAS protection for years. Always been paranoid. Not sure how effective it is but I guess it is worth it. Does not cost that much.

really????
That might take months. And assumes they still have your data. Get out now...

It's already up and running. All my data is there now. I'll wait a bit longer and run after year end.

marvelous. Letter sent.
This pro forma was provided to me by a CISO who called it his 'nightmare scenario GDPR DSAR letter'

I forwarded the above letter too.

I presume you received the response with a copy of the privacy statement and the following:

"We will follow our processes regarding your subject access request.

They've given up, haven't they? :/

seriously????
You're going to continue to pay them even though they are likely to go bust and not do your year end accounts? Even if they don't go bust they're going to take 6 months at least to do those, so you're paying them for another half a year.

Unbelievable. After everything that's happened.



Run a mile today, if you have any sense at all. The warnings have been on CUK a very long time.
