<\/p>\n

What are cyber compensation claims?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cyber compensation claims are legal cases where the victim of a data breach that has arisen from a cyber event can be eligible to pursue compensation. The compensation can be for the distress caused by the loss of control of their personal information. It can also include losses and expenses, although you do not have to have suffered any actual financial losses or expenses to be able to make a claim.<\/p>\n

Data breach amounts for cyber compensation claims can be substantial. We have put our early provisional estimations for victims of the Virgin Media incident at up to \u00a35,000.00.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

How this can work for the Virgin Media data breach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to cyber compensation claims for victims of the Virgin Media data breach, we are pursuing damages for the loss of control of the victims\u2019 personal information.<\/p>\n

Because a database was left unsecured and was accessible online, a cyber breach has occurred. Before the third-party security researcher that discovered the breach came across the database and alerted the company, we know that at least one other unknown third-party accessed the information. Hackers use the same methods that security researchers do to find information, so the risks that the data is now in the hands of criminals are real.<\/p>\n

In any event, victims have lost control over their personal information and the law can entitle victims for this kind of breach to make a claim.<\/p>\n
