Virgin Media Action: unlawful disclosure of data
The Virgin Media data breach incident that was discovered at the start of 2020 amounted to the unlawful disclosure of data without consent for those who were affected.
Some 900,000 people were affected when their personal information was left exposed on a database that was accessible online. Even Virgin Media did not know about the incident until a third-party security researcher came across the unsecured database and alerted them to the problem. Unfortunately, by that time, the database had already been accessed.
We have been pursuing compensation claims on behalf of thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis for several years. You can find out if you are still in time to join the group action by completing a few forms on a website here now.

Virgin Media: claim for unlawfully accessing records
It was discovered in early 2020 that third parties had been unlawfully accessing records for some 900,000 people, most of whom were customers of Virgin Media.
