The GDPR and compensation claims for the Virgin Media data breach

Victims of the Virgin Media data breach are being urged to step forward and use the GDPR and compensation claims process before it is too late.

Your Lawyers has launched a Virgin Media Data Breach Group Action claim and is representing a large group of victims for the incident. We encourage anyone who has yet to sign-up for a legal case to join and use the GDPR and compensation claims process now to receive some form of justice for what they have endured.

The Virgin Media data breach stemmed from an ‘incorrectly configured’ database as a result of employee error, which left 900,000 victims’ data exposed online for a ten-month period. The data was made available between April 2019 and February 2020. After further investigation, it was found that the database had been accessed by an unknown third party at least once during this breach period.

The GDPR and compensation claims for the Virgin Media data breach

We are helping victims of the Virgin Media data breach to make use of the GDPR and compensation claims process that is there to help them so they can access the justice that they deserve.

We can look at the following factors when considering the GDPR and compensation claims process to help us to value a legal case;

• Damages for being a victim if a breach generally;
• Compensation for any stress, worry, and anxiety caused;
• Claims for any recognised psychological injury or depression caused or exacerbated by the incident;
• The effect that the leak has had on your social and domestic life;
• Lost earnings from time off work or for lost earnings if you have to leave your employment as a result of a breach;
• Any other financial loss or expense that has been caused as a result of the incident;
• Private treatment expenses if this can help.

The personal data exposed in the breach included names, email addresses, telephone numbers and, in some cases, contract information with details that linked some victims to explicit websites.

This data, in the wrong hands, could leave victims vulnerable to criminal attacks and scammers.
