Cloud data breaches and what can be done
In today’s digital age, cloud data breaches are becoming more and more common, and they are set to continue to be more common as more of the world moves toward this way of working.
It is no secret that the Coronavirus Pandemic has potentially helped to push more organisations into this way of working and thinking as well. When many of us were suddenly faced with the need to stay in and work from home, this forced some businesses to adapt there and then.
Security, however, is a very important part of this. It is inexcusable to leave personal information open and accessible in the cloud, and victims whose personal information is misused or exposed could be eligible to claim compensation.

Compensation from being complacent about data protection
It can be argued that the Virgin Media data leak that was discovered in early 2020 is an example of how being complacent about data protection can cause significant problems.
In this event, it was discovered by a third-party security researcher that a database containing the details of some 900,000 people was accessible online. Most of the people whose information was on the database were customers, but there were also some others in there as well. It was found that the database had been accessible for a period of 10 months between April 2019 and February 2020. And, during that time, at least one unknown third party is understood to have accessed the compromised database.
What this meant is that a staggering 900,000 people lost control over their personal information. As a result of this event, thousands of people have signed up to join our action for compensation, and you may still be eligible to start your case here now.
Data and passwords found on the dark web
One of the reasons as to why we are so concerned when we see privacy breaches like the Virgin Media one that we represent thousands of people for is because of data like passwords found on the dark web.
When information is hacked, it can often end up on the dark web for sale for criminals to then exploit. Whilst the Virgin Media data leak was not understood to have included passwords, it did include enough data for people to be exploited. And that can be enough for people to fall victim to crime and suffer as a result.

Second anniversary of the Virgin Media data breach revelations
This month marks the second anniversary of the news hitting the headlines that Virgin Media had suffered a major data leak, with breach notifications being sent to victims.
We were contacted right away by concerned victims. As we are open on most weekends, we were able to advise people immediately who had been receiving notifications on the Friday. Right away, our expert legal team knew that this was a major data breach that required us to launch a legal group action, and that is exactly what we did.
