Are you eligible to pursue a legal case?

If you have lost control of your personal information, you could be entitled to claim compensation as the victim of a data breach. If you were affected by the Virgin Media data leak that was discovered in early 2020, you may be eligible to sign up for a legal case and join the ongoing action that we have launched.

We are already representing thousands of people affected by this breach alone, as well as thousands more in over 50 group and multi-party actions. This niche and complex area of law is precisely what we specialise in, and our history and expertise is unmatched in our view when it comes to the actions that we have launched.

The GDPR can entitle the victim of a breach, leak or hack to pursue compensation, and claims can be settled for thousands of pounds in damages per claimant.

Precautions to take as a victim of a data breach

If you have been the victim of a data breach, there are a number of sensible things that you can do to try to make sure you can protect yourself from fraud or theft. Organisations should guide you any way, so it is worth considering the instructions that they are telling you.

Some basic things you can do can include:

• Changing passwords for compromised accounts. Never re-use the same access credentials across more than one account.
• Activating two-factor authentication to better prevent people accessing your accounts.
• Keeping a close eye on your bank accounts and look out for any unusual activity.
• Cancel cards if they have been directly affected by a data breach. You should speak to your bank for guidance.
• Activate fraud monitoring on accounts, whether through the use of a platform’s own alerts or with third-party ones (or both).
