We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
With this week’s news focused on big GDPR fines for British Airways and Marriott, we can only assume that more fines are on the way.
Our lawyers are fighting for justice in over 25 different data breach group and multi-party actions. That shows just how many big legal cases we’ve taken forward, and some of the incidents took place after GDPR was introduced last year. The BA Group Action is one of those, and the initial fine of £183m shows just how serious the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is on punishing offenders.
With the likes of the Ticketmaster data breach and the Well Pharmacy incidents yet to involve penalties, we expect more big fines to be on the horizon.
Just two days after the announcement of the huge BA data breach fine to the tune of £183m, the Marriott data breach fine is reportedly going to be set at £99m.
These are real statements of intent from the UK’s data watchdog, the ICO (the Information Commissioner’s Office).
When GDPR came into force last year, there was little doubt about the responsibilities that organisations have when it comes to data protection, and the punishments for failure are clear. We’re pleased with the announcement of another huge fine, and as always, we continue to bring the fights for justice for the victims who deserve compensation for the loss of control of their personal information.
The provisional British Airways data breach fine has been set at a record-high of £183m as a result of the 2018 data breach incidents, and the compensation action is underway.
We’ve been representing claimants since news of the scandal broke back in September last year, and since news of the GDPR fine hit the headlines, we’ve received an influx of new inquiries.
The provisional fine that has been issued by the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) reflects the severity of the breach and the impact that the victims have suffered. However, the issue of compensation is separate, and you can sign-up to join the BA Group Action here.
The BA data breach fine is set to be a record £183m; the first major fine of its kind in the UK since the new GDPR rules came into force last year.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has referenced poor security that led to the information for hundreds of thousands of people to be comprised. We’re acting on behalf of a number of victims of the breach, and news of the fine has led to an influx of new inquiries.

If you’ve yet to start your claim for Bounty data breach compensation, make sure you take a look at this important advice about your rights.
The parenting advice website was fined by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the wake of substantial data protection failures. The information for millions of people was illegally shared, and the fallout has been substantial.
In fact, just last week, East & North Herts NHS Trust announced that there will be no more ‘Bounty Ladies’ on the maternity wards of Lister Hospital. This is on top of the £400,000.00 fine and the compensation claims being taken forward against them.
