You could be eligible to join the No Win, No Fee compensation action that we have launched. With a few simple forms completed, you could be a part of our growing action for justice.

Here is some brief guidance about what to do if you are worried about the incident and how you can join the compensation action today.

What to do if you are worried about the data breach

If you are worried about the data breach that affected Virgin media, there are some simple steps that you can take to try and protect yourself from the risks that come with such an incident.

These include:

• Be vigilant: you may be contacted by scammers posing as Virgin Media themselves. This does happen after a breach. If you are ever unsure, end the call and find your own contact number online from their official website and call them back. Do not feel pressured to stay on the call!
• Be wary of emails and texts asking you to login or warning that you need to take action because of account restrictions. Always contact a company directly using their official website for clarity;
• If you do not use strong passwords, do so now. Consider changing any passwords you use, and use unique passwords for each platform as well;
• Keep a general eye on your accounts for anything that looks suspicious.

In general, be careful about anyone asking for further information from you. This is especially the case when it comes to access to your computers or accounts. As obvious as that may sound, this kind of thing does happen.

Taking legal action

If you are worried about the data breach that affected Virgin Media, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the distress caused by the loss of control of your personal information.

This can act as some form of closure and justice and you can also be entitled, by law, to be compensated for the stress and worry that you go through. You do not have to have lost money to claim as you can be eligible for damages for just the distress that you suffer.

When we spoke to the media previously, our provisional early estimations of compensation pay-outs are up to £5,000.00.
