Data breach victims claim in the Virgin Media group Action

Data breach victims of the Virgin Media information leak that was revealed in 2020 have been taking part in a substantial legal action that our lawyers are spearheading for our clients.

Working on a No Win, No Fee basis for clients that are eligible to claim with us, claimants could receive an estimated £5,000.00 in damages each, as featured in the mainstream media. The claim is for the loss of control of their personal information, and for any consequential losses and expenses that may also have been incurred.

Here is a little insight into the progress of our action and where you need to go to sign-up for a No Win, No Fee legal case now.

What is the action all about?

It was revealed in March 2020 that Virgin Media had left a database unsecured and accessible online between April 2019 and February 2020. This was discovered by a third party security researcher, and it has already been established that at least one other unknown third party accessed the information during the exposure period.

Affecting some 900,000 people – mainly customers – whose personal data has now been exposed, the risks as to what can happen to those people are real. Data breach victims can face a great deal of risks from scammers and fraudsters who may target them by using the data exposed in the breach. In any event, the distress that can be caused by the loss of control of personal information can be severe, and this can be taken into account for a legal case.

The law is on your side, and our stance is that Virgin Media is in breach of the GDPR over this leak and is responsible for compensating the victims that we now represent. We are confident enough in our case to be able to offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for our clients now.
