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 left 900,000 people’s personal information exposed online for a period of 10 months between April 2019 and February 2020. The breach stemmed from an ‘incorrectly configured database’ resulting from what has been deemed as an employee error. This issue was identified by security researcher TurgenSec.

Scams arising from the Virgin Media data breach
Scams arising from the Virgin Media data breach that affected around 900,000 victims, when personal information was left exposed online between April 2019 and 28th February 2020, could be serious
The information accessible included names, email addresses, telephone numbers and information about individual contracts, in some cases. Virgin Media said that the breach was a result of an ‘employee error’ and an ‘incorrectly configured’ database, and it was security researchers at TurgenSec that found the problem and alerted Virgin Media about the data breach.
Following investigations, it seems that the unsecured data has been accessed by an unknown third party at least once over the 10-month breach period. As the third party has not been identified, it may be the case that the data has been accessed by cyber criminals. This could leave the over 900,000 victims vulnerable to cyber-attacks and scams.
