Newegg data breach compensation advice

We’re launching legal action for Newegg data breach compensation. The tech company has been hit with a malware injection that’s believed to have been skimming payment card data for over a month.

Yesterday, Newegg announced that they’d discovered malware on one of their servers, and that a number of their customers may be at risk from their payment card data being exposed. Newegg are said to be contacting affected customers, and anyone in England and Wales who has been affected can contact us for help.

The full extent of the data breach has yet to be revealed, but we’re launching our Newegg data breach compensation action immediately given the nature of the breach.

British Airways complaints and compensation

British Airways complaints have understandably risen in the aftermath of the massive payment card data breach, but what about compensation?

If you have a legitimate complaint with regards to the service a company has provided to you, you can be entitled to some form of remedy. This especially applies where you are at a loss as a result of the complaint.

In terms of British Airways complaints over the recent data breach, we understand that the advice they have given is to contact your bank. We have launched a compensation action, so you can instruct us directly to recover any compensation you are due.

Worries for travellers in aftermath of BA cyber hack

There are understandable worries for travellers in the aftermath of the BA cyber hack, and recent study figures suggest people are getting more nervous.

Recent research indicated that as many as 65% of business travellers aren’t confident that their data is secure when they go abroad, and that relates to the data they carry. With the recent BA cyber hack compromising 380,000 payment cards, how can we be sure that our data is in safe hands with anyone?

People should be very worried. This was a monumental breach that has led to the full card numbers, expiry dates and security (CVV) codes of payment cards being exposed, and it’s sparked what may be one of the biggest data breach actions in the UK.

Code use in British Airways cyber attack identified

It’s understood that the code used in the British Airways cyber attack that compromised the payment data for 380,000 has been found.

A cyber security firm has reportedly identified the malicious code that was injected into the British Airways site that led to the massive data breach that we’ve initiated legal action for. As previously suspected, the code reportedly acts like a digital form of “skimming” where information entered into payment forms is copied and stolen.

The revelation means we’re one step close to uncovering how the biggest data hack of the new GDPR era was committed as we fight for compensation for victims of the attack.
