Virgin Media: claim for unlawfully accessing records


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.

The issue was identified as a database configuration problem, and Virgin Media were only alerted to the issue after the information had been left online for a period of 10 months. In our view, this was a clear breach of the GDPR which is why we are pursuing a group action for compensation. You can find out if you are still in time to claim by completing a few forms on our website here now.

Worried about a data breach? Here’s what to do


worried about a data breach

If you are worried about a data breach, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself, and there are steps you can take with the law on your side to seek some form of justice for what you have gone through.

The GDPR is the key data protection legislation in the UK that is not just there to govern good practice and management for data being processed and stored, it is also there to serve as punishment if a breach occurs. Whilst the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) can issue monetary penalties, this money is not designed to then filter down to anybody who has been directly impacted by a data breach. Instead, what a victim can do is pursue their own private claim for compensation, and we may be able to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis.

When it comes to the Virgin Media data leak, you can find out if you are still in time to pursue a claim by completing a few forms on our website here now.

The potentially huge impact of simple data breaches


simple data breaches

Even simple data breaches can cause a significant impact on those affected and can involve a large number of people, with the Virgin Media data leak being a case in point.

Too often we see companies dismiss data breaches, leaks and hacks as small things, where they will make comments about the fact that “no financial information” was affected, for example. Even if this is the case, this does not mean that the impact cannot be severe for those who are affected, which is why we pursue No Win, No Fee compensation cases for those who have lost control over their information through no fault of their own.

You can find out if you are still in time to join the Virgin Media compensation action by completing a few forms here now.
