The Virgin Media GDPR breach

The Virgin Media GDPR breach has affected some 900,000 people, with personal details left exposed between April 2019 and February 2020.

Over 1,000 have had particularly sensitive information exposed in relation to requests to block and unblock explicit websites as well. This is also something that we can look to account for in a case if this applies to you.

We consider that the cybersecurity event is a breach of the GDPR given that this was an avoidable exposure of information. Not only was the breach itself avoidable, but the fact that the data was left exposed for such a long time is also a concern. It took a third-party security researcher to identify the unsecure data and raise the alarm with Virgin Media before action was taken.

About the compensation action

The Virgin Media GDPR breach means that victims can be entitled to make a claim for compensation for the loss of control of their personal information. A claim may also include losses and expenses, which could include fraud and identity theft events that are directly linked to the breach event.

We know that at least one unknown third-party has accessed the exposed information, and it remains to be seen as to what – if anything – this person(s) intends to do. In other breaches where data has fallen into the hands of criminals, they’ve used the information to scam people into handing over money or access to accounts.

We worry that this could happen in this case also, which is why we advise about the options for losses claims as well
