What is a Virgin Media data breach case?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A Virgin Media data breach case is a claim for compensation as a victim of the recently discovered data breach. The information for around 900,000 people was left exposed on an unsecure database between April 2019 and February 2020. The breach was discovered by a third-party security researcher, and we know that at least one other unknown third-party has accessed the data.<\/p>\n

Virgin Media has notified victims that they\u2019re affected. Anyone that has received confirmation that their information has been exposed could now be entitled to make a claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a>. The GDPR allows data breach victims to claim damages, and anyone that has been notified that they\u2019re involved should be eligible to claim.<\/p>\n

A legal case is where we can pursue damages for you as a victim of the breach. As there are so many people affected, we have launched a Group Action. This is where claims for compensation can come together as part of one united front, and there\u2019s a lot to be said when it comes to strength in numbers.<\/p>\n
