Virgin Media data breach – join the consumer class action
In the Virgin Media data breach, 900,000 people had their data exposed via an unsecured database, and swathes of personal details were left vulnerable to unauthorised eyes. The high number of affected customers means that Your Lawyers has seen fit to launch a consumer class action, also known as a group action, to hold Virgin Media to account for their breach of data protection duties.

Will there be a Virgin Media group litigation for the data event?
We’re now coming up to almost six months since news of the Virgin Media data breach hit the headlines, and some are asking whether there will be a group litigation for the data event.
Although it’s still early days, there could be a formal court litigation established. If this happens, people will need to make sure that they have signed up for a case before any final deadline, or they could miss out.
Here’s what you need to know and how to get started today to avoid any chance of missing out.
Steering Committee: what is it and how does it work?
If a formal Virgin Media data breach group action court case is formed, it’s likely that a Steering Committee will also be established. What is this, and how does it work?
As a leading firm of consumer action and data breach compensation experts, we’ve been appointed to Steering Committees before. We’re currently on the one for the first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales, the British Airways data breach action. If the Virgin Media data breach action follows a similar course, we may see one for this case too.
If a formal court group action is established, that’s when a Committee will normally be required.
Virgin Media data breach court case: warning about deadlines!
It’s likely that a formal Virgin Media data breach court case will be established which will then be used to manage the claimants as part of one action.
When this happens, there will usually be a court-imposed cut-off date for people to join the action. To benefit from the decisions made in the court case, including settlements, people will need to be a part of the action. For example, there may be an established Group Litigation Order (GLO).
Here’s a very important warning about making sure you join the action before any deadline hits. In fact, we urge you to take action now because missing the deadline is very easy, and it happens to thousands of people in many different actions.
