Data breaches are serious: here’s why
Data breaches are serious. Incidents like the Virgin Media leak that we are taking action for have a real impact on the victims, and there can be severe risks from criminals as well.
This is why we do what we do, and why our work is so important. It is also why we work on a No Win, No Fee basis as we are huge believers in access to justice as well.
Here’s a brief take on why data breaches are serious and what you can do as a victim of the Virgin Media data breach, and how to join our compensation action for justice today.
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.
Affected by the Virgin Media data breach?
If you are one of the 900,000 victims affected by the Virgin Media data breach that was revealed earlier this year, here’s what you need to do.
We have launched a legal action and we are representing clients for cases on a No Win, No Fee basis. Below, we will briefly outline whether you could be eligible to join the action and what you need to do. We will also give you an insight into us as well.

Impact of data breaches like the Virgin Media event should not be ignored
As a leading firm of data breach and consumer action specialists, we know all too well just how bad the impact of data breaches like the Virgin Media event can be.
This is why we do what we do. We are here to be the voice for justice for those whose rights to privacy have been violated, and we can achieve some form of justice by way of a compensation claim. The GDPR can allow victims of a data breach whose private information has been exposed or misused to receive compensation, and we are here to represent them.
