Virgin Media data breach risks
Today, we want to talk about the Virgin Media data breach risks for the 900,000 people who have been affected by this incident, as they can be significant.
The law entitles victims of the data breach to be able to claim compensation for any distress caused. You do not have to have suffered any actual financial loss or expense to be able to make a claim, as you can be eligible for damages for the distress alone. This distress can be heightened with the risks that people may face which could be severe where people are targeted for scams and fraud.
Although you don’t have to have been targeted to be able to make a claim, it’s good to be prepared in terms of looking out for risks. It’s also good to know that you can bring a legal case in any event.
