Virgin Media and the impact of a data breach
The impact of a data breach can be substantial and it should never be underestimated, especially when it comes to cases like the Virgin Media leak.
When data is left exposed for such a long period of time, and for so many people, it is a serious event. The incident was worsened with the news that at least one unknown third party managed to access the exposed data during the breach period as well. The risks of this data ending up in the wrong hands can be severe, so the impact for the victims can also be serious.
The law is there to protect our right to privacy for a very good reason, and the law should always be upheld!

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.
