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.

Virgin Media data breach – join our claim for compensation
The Virgin Media data breach saw the exposure of 900,000 UK people’s personal data, all of whom may be eligible to join our claim for compensation.
As specialists in data breach law, we believe that it is unacceptable that Virgin Media endangered private information, given that they have a legal duty to keep this data safe. Data controllers have an ongoing responsibility to protect the personal data entrusted to them, but too often they neglect this duty. When these organisations fail to prepare for external cybersecurity and cyber exposure threats, the blame can fall on them. They can, therefore, be held liable for the damage caused under the law.

Risks of reusing passwords can leave you vulnerable to cyberattacks
There are many risks of reusing passwords, all of which can make you more vulnerable to cyberattacks. When serious data breaches occur and your personal information is exposed, victims who reuse passwords can be at a greater at risk of being targeted by cybercriminals.
For example, with the Virgin Media data breach, names, email addresses, and telephone numbers have been exposed in the breached. With criminals potentially having access to this information, they may be able to hack into accounts or attempt email phishing scams, or cold call scams. This will usually be to get personal information from the victims so they can access more of their online accounts. In this case, the risks of reusing passwords could be extremely high, leaving people at high risk of fraudulent activity.
