Victims could claim data theft compensation for Virgin Media data breach

Now is the time to claim compensation for the Virgin Media data breach. If any information has ended up in the hands of criminals, claim data theft compensation with us today.

Victims of the Virgin Media data breach could be eligible to claim data theft compensation with us on a No Win, No Fee basis. You can claim anyway as part of the action but, if the information has been exposed to criminals and has, therefore, been stolen, we could factor this into a case.

Victims could be eligible to claim compensation even if they haven’t suffered any financial loss as a direct result of the breach. The loss of control of personal data, or having personal data stolen if that is the case, could be enough to make a claim.

What data was involved in the breach?

The Virgin Media data breach took place between April 2019 and 28^th February 2020, leaving 900,000 people’s personal information accessible online during this time. The data breach was identified by security researcher TurgenSec and Virgin Media have since stated it was a result of an ‘incorrectly configured’ database because of employee error.

The data breach revealed peoples’ private information, including;

• Names;
• Email addresses;
• Telephone numbers;
• Information about contracts, in some cases.

In some cases, information was revealed that linked customers to explicit and pornographic websites which, in the wrong hands, could leave victims open to blackmail and extortion. This is why, if any data has been stolen, you should take action and claim data theft compensation as part of the case.

The majority of customers that have been affected by the data breach are understood to be Virgin Media telephone landline and broadband customers, with a much smaller percentage of Virgin Mobile customers affected. If you have been contacted by Virgin Media to inform you that your private data has been exposed, you could be eligible to make a claim with us today.
