Make a compensation claim for a data breach
In the wake of a data breach, victims can undergo a great deal of stress and anxiety, worrying about whose hands their personal information may have fallen into, or feeling threatened by the possibilities of data misuse. Given the ever-evolving threat of data-related crime, the worries of data breach victims are entirely warranted. Unfortunately, some of these risks are inescapable once data exposure has occurred. Although it cannot remedy the damage caused by a data breach, victims can be eligible to make a compensation claim to seek the justice they deserve.
Those affected by the Virgin Media data breach are no different. If you were one of the 900,000 UK victims notified of their involvement in the data breach, you could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds in compensation. Your Lawyers is a law firm with years of experience in data breach claims and group actions, so we have the expertise needed to fight on your behalf.
Warnings to victims of Virgin Media data breach
In the aftermath of a data breach, the stress of the event can make it very hard to know what to do to protect yourself. If a third-party organisation has exposed your information, it is their job to notify you of the breach and inform you of any risks that you could face. However, sometimes victims do not receive the assistance they may need. We believe that it is vital to issue thorough warnings to victims of data breaches to ensure that no further personal data is at risk, as the warnings may need to go above and beyond the usual generic information.
Victims of the Virgin Media data breach saw their personal data exposed, revealed in March last year. It was identified that an unsecured database had exposed information belonging to 900,000 people, mainly customers. If you were affected, you may be able to claim compensation on the basis that Virgin Media failed to protect your personal data.
We believe that all data controllers should be held to the stringent regulations of UK data protection law. This is why we launched a group action against Virgin Media to ensure that justice is done. Those affected can use our online form to start their claim today.
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.

Compensation for the victims of the Virgin Media data breach
Have you been affected by the Virgin Media data breach? Virgin Media could be set to pay out a potential £4.5 billion in compensation for the victims of the data breach if the action succeeds and everyone claims.
The breach affected over 900,000 people, mainly Virgin Media broadband and telephone landline customers, with some Virgin Mobile customers also affected. The breach occurred between April 2019 and February 2020, leaving victims’ sensitive information accessible online due to an ‘incorrectly configured’ database that stemmed from an employee error.
Further investigations have revealed that the sensitive data was accessed by an unknown third-party during the ten-month breach period, and it remains to be seen if the data has been used for malicious purposes.

The Virgin Media data breach has involved over 900,000 people, mainly customers, with their personal information left exposed online for 10 months between April 2019 and February 2020. Virgin Media claim that the breach was down to an ‘incorrectly configured’ database resulting from an employee error. Investigations into the breach have revealed so far that the database was accessed by an unknown third-party at least once during the 10 months it was exposed. It is still unknown if the third-party will misuse the sensitive information involved.
