The Your Lawyers Virgin Media data breach compensation action has featured in the news as we strive to raise awareness of this important case.
As featured in The Sun today, PORN COCK-UP Virgin Media faces £4.5billion fine after exposing customers’ PORN searches, the 900,000 victims of the breach could be entitled to claim an estimated £5,000 in compensation. This could mean a total claim pay-out in the sum of a staggering £4.5bn.

Am I affected by the Virgin Media data breach? With the information for a monumental 900,000 customers exposed, this is a popular question right now.
Any data breach can be daunting, but when news of a new leak or hack hits the headlines and it’s a company you do business with, it’s worrying. Key data protection legislation puts an important duty on organisations to inform victims of a breach, and victims should be informed as soon as possible, and within the legal time frame for doing so.
For those who are affected by this cybersecurity incident, we’ve launched a compensation action for victims. If you’re affected, we can help you.
The concept of data breach distress compensation is a relatively new area of law, and one that we’ve been at the forefront of for several years; but what is it, and what do we do?
As the world becomes increasingly more digitalised, the likelihood that data is misused, leaked or hacked is more common. We no longer have to just lock up our doors at night; we also need to make sure that our electronic doors are safe and secure. With more information accessible and stored digitally, it’s more susceptible to being breached.
The result is that data breach incidents have grown astronomically in recent years. As a result, people are suffering; and that’s where we can help.
We’ve set up our Virgin Media Data Breach Group action website for the 900,0000 victims of the recent cybersecurity event to sign-up for a legal case quickly and easily.
As a leading law firm that specialises in data breach compensation and large group actions, we’re already set up to be able to take large actions forward for victims. We’re using our tried and tested infrastructure that already works for the over 35 different data actions we’re involved with. And, as a firm with High Court Steering Committee appointments (including to the first GDPR Group Litigation Order in England and Wales, the British Airways action), we’re already set up to take the case to court when we need to.
For you, as a victim, all you need to do is sign-up for a No Win, No Fee legal case and you can let us do the rest for you.
As more people know their rights when it comes to compensation in this niche area of law, we’re being asked: how long does a data breach claim take to finish?
Unfortunately, this is a very difficult question to answer, and it really can differ from case to case. We recently settled a data breach compensation claim in less than five months, but at the same time, we also settled a recent matter that took just over a year.
Even if you ask, how long can a data breach claim take, please understand that there’s a lot more to it than even giving rough guidance. It can depend on several factors that are individual to the case, so the best thing we can do is explain a little about the process to help you understand.
We’ve made the process for victims to sign-up for the Virgin Media data breach compensation action nice and easy, so here’s a handy guide for what you need to do.
With around 900,000 victims in the UK, and with the data for over a thousand of them reported to be potentially linked to explicit content, this is a significant breach. Data had been left exposed for 10 months, and there has been at least one access event by an unknown third-party. We can’t know for certain what has happened to the exposed information, but the risk that it could be used for malicious purposes is very real.
