We are now two years on since the news broke about the Virgin Media data protection breach that affected some 900,000 victims, most of whom were customers.
We represent thousands of people affected by the data leak on a No Win, No Fee basis who are engaged in a Group Action for justice. We are at quite an advanced stage for many of the claimants given the length of time that has passed since news of the leak broke in the press, but you are still in time to start your claim if you have yet to join the action. However, time is running out and we urge anyone who has yet to start their legal case for compensation to do so without delay.
You can sign up to join the Virgin Media data protection group action using the dedicated website here now.
Were you affected by the Virgin Media data protection?
If you were one of the 900,000 people who were affected by the Virgin Media data protection breach that came to light in March 2020, you could be eligible to pursue a No Win, No Fee legal claim for compensation.
The data leak itself is understood to have taken place from April 2019 to February 2020. It was discovered that a database had been left exposed and was accessible online, and at least one unknown third party accessed the database during the breach period. We consider these events to be a clear breach of privacy and important data protection legislation, which means that victims can be entitled to bring a legal case for compensation.
Still time to claim
You still have time to join the Group Action that we are pursuing for victims affected by the Virgin Media data protection leak. You can still be eligible for representation so long as you have received confirmation that you were affected by the event.
The GDPR can entitle you to receive compensation for any distress caused by the loss of control of your personal information. You do not need to have suffered any monetary losses or incurred any expenses to claim, as you can pursue damages for the distress alone. However, if you have incurred losses and/or expenses, these can be considered as part of a case as well.
Sign up before it is too late
Make sure to sign up for a legal case for data breach compensation before it is too late to claim. At any moment now, a court-imposed deadline could be put in place. It could then become a matter of weeks or months to start a claim and secure your place in an action, which is in addition to meeting any legal limitation time-frames.
All you need to do to join the compensation action is complete a few forms, and it should only take a matter of minutes to sign up. You can start your claim for compensation directly via the Virgin Media Data Breach Group Action website here now.
