Fresca Group has said that it is “not aware of anyone’s information being used maliciously, or of any individual suffering any detriment as a result of the incident.” But Fresca cannot guarantee the safety of victims of this breach. Stolen data isn’t always used immediately, and it can take months, or even years, for the consequences of a cyber-attack to become apparent.
Victims of data breaches often become the target of cybercriminals and phishing attacks. Similar privacy violations have resulted in fraud, blackmail, financial and identity theft.
A substantial amount of data stolen in the attack has now been published on the dark web, so those affected by this breach are at risk.
We urge anyone affected by this breach to register with us and claim compensation for any distress or financial losses experienced.
