Claiming for accidental data breaches like the Virgin Media incident
We have been asked before about whether it’s possible to claim for accidental data breaches, and this is a relevant question when it comes to our Virgin Media Group Action.
You can be eligible to receive compensation even when a data breach has not been caused by any kind of intentional act. Most breaches occur because of some form of accident or mishap, and there are circumstances where this can pave the way for victims to claim. When information has been misused or exposed, it can be incredibly distressing, and that’s what victims could claim for.
Here’s how this can work in terms of the Virgin Media data breach that we’re spearheading legal action for.
