News of the cybersecurity incident surfaced earlier this month, with as many as 900,000 people falling victim to a data exposure event. Names, contact information and even some details about contracts are involved in the leak, with an unsecured database left accessible between April 2019 and February 2020.
In response to the breach, we’ve launched our group action for people affected, and we’re representing Claimants on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Virgin Media GDPR Claim For Compensation
If you’re one of the 900,000 people affected by the recent cybersecurity event, you could be entitled to make a Virgin Media GDPR claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis with us.
As the breach period took place between April 2019 and February 2020, the GDPR applies. This vital piece of legislation not only means that Virgin could receive a substantial GDPR fine, but it also allows victims to make a claim for compensation. Money from fines is a totally separate thing to a legal case which is why we’ve set up the group action for people to join.
