Worried about a data breach? Here’s what to do
If you are worried about a data breach, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself, and there are steps you can take with the law on your side to seek some form of justice for what you have gone through.
The GDPR is the key data protection legislation in the UK that is not just there to govern good practice and management for data being processed and stored, it is also there to serve as punishment if a breach occurs. Whilst the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) can issue monetary penalties, this money is not designed to then filter down to anybody who has been directly impacted by a data breach. Instead, what a victim can do is pursue their own private claim for compensation, and we may be able to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Loss of trust after data breaches – Virgin Media action
The problem with the loss of trust after data breaches is an important consideration for organisations when it comes to their strategies for preventing incidents from happening.
Despite the obvious reputational damage that can be associated with a privacy incident, we constantly see breaches taking place all the time, which is why we represent thousands of people engaged in dozens of group and multi-party cases, as well as in singular claims.
In addition to the loss of trust element, people can be entitled to claim compensation. If you were affected by the Virgin Media data leak, all you need to do is complete a few forms here now to see if you are still in time to pursue a case.
The potentially huge impact of simple data breaches
Even simple data breaches can cause a significant impact on those affected and can involve a large number of people, with the Virgin Media data leak being a case in point.
Too often we see companies dismiss data breaches, leaks and hacks as small things, where they will make comments about the fact that “no financial information” was affected, for example. Even if this is the case, this does not mean that the impact cannot be severe for those who are affected, which is why we pursue No Win, No Fee compensation cases for those who have lost control over their information through no fault of their own.

Data breaches identified by third parties – Virgin Media
Data breaches identified by third parties often mean that information has been exposed for a prolonged period of time before the issue is rectified.
This can mean that there are greater risks for the victims involved who may be at imminent risk of fraud and theft without even knowing that they could be targeted. It is right (and the law) that an organisation affected by a privacy breach informs victims who are involved as quickly as possible to allow them to be vigilant and to protect themselves from falling victim to crime. When people are not forewarned, they are not forearmed.
The Virgin Media data leak group action that we are pursuing for thousands of people is an example of this kind of incident, which affected some 900,000 people with information exposed for a 10-month period.
