DataBreaches.net received an unexpected letter from Pinsent Masons, representing HCRG Care Limited, enclosing a High Court injunction against disclosing confidential data from a ransomware attack. The letter warned that failure to comply could result in legal penalties, including imprisonment or asset seizure. DataBreaches highlights that despite such legal threats from foreign entities, it has successfully defended its right to report on data breaches, aided by the First Amendment and the legal support from its attorneys at Covington and Burling.
We act for HCRG Care Limited. We put you on notice, by this letter and enclosure, of an injunction ordered today by the High Court of England & Wales against a person or persons unknown.
As last week drew to a close, DataBreaches was unpleasantly surprised to receive a letter from Pinsent Masons, a UK law firm, concerning confidentiality over stolen data.
