Virgin Media cybersecurity compensation action
The Virgin Media cybersecurity flaw that was discovered in 2020 had actually been ongoing for over 10 months before the issue was identified by third party security researchers.

It is now over two years since the discovery of the breach, and we are at an advanced stage for the action in which we represent thousands of clients of cases. You may still be in time to pursue a case, and we recommend that you start the process immediately to avoid missing out here now.

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.
