A person who is the sole victim of a data breach cannot receive compensation for distress from state funds. Nor can compensation for distress be awarded for the dissemination of information concerning private life. If a person has also been the victim of extortion or attempted extortion in connection with a data breach, he or she may be entitled to compensation for damages for these offences. Compensation for distress can only be awarded to victims of sexual offences, manslaughter, attempted murder or manslaughter, aggravated assault and any other serious violation of liberty or personal integrity (e.g. deprivation of liberty, illegal threats, coercion, persecution).
