The way forward for justice for the victims of the Equifax cyber attack is with legal action against the credit referencing giants.
We launched our legal action for justice last year when news of the huge cyber attack hit the press. We’re now acting for a large group of victims claiming compensation for the cyber attack. With the punishments issued to Equifax being somewhat small so far, victims should know that they are entitled to justice through our legal action.
If you’ve yet to join the legal action, sign up now. This really is the way forward to ensure justice is served!
You can claim compensation as a victim of both the British Airways data breach dates. You may have seen the news that the breach widened after a further incident was discovered.
Given what we know about the British Airways data breach and how it happened, we’re confident we can win the legal action we’ve launched. Victims who have received confirmation that they’re affected by the incidents are entitled to join our legal action on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If you’ve not received confirmation that you were affected, you may still have a case. If you used the website between the British Airways data breach dates, your information may have been exposed.
The massive November 2016 Tesco data breach has led to a ground-breaking fine issued in the sum of £16.4m.
The fine has been issued by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It’s understood that this is the first time that the FCA has issued a fine for an online fraud incident.
The level of the fine is thought to reflect the severity of the Tesco data breach. This was an avoidable incident that arose from Tesco’s lax security. The incident led to customers of Tesco Bank losing millions of pounds in stolen funds.
The British Airways data breach GDPR repercussions could be huge. But, what do they mean for compensation here in the UK?
It’s important to note that any fine and any claim for compensation are dealt with as two separate issues. It’s the role of the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) to issue any GDPR fine to British Airways. What we’re doing is helping victims of the BA breach claim for data breach compensation.
However, one data breach period appears to have partially taken place before GDPR came into force. How does this affect your claim?
Have you checked if you were affected by the TV licence data breach? If you haven’t, you should make sure you take precautions to avoid falling victim to fraud.
The details for some 40,000 people may have been compromised in the recent data breach. Tens of thousands of people have been contacted to warn that they may have fallen victim to the breach. The incident itself stemmed from data inputs that were not fully secure. This is similar to the recent British Airways and Ticketmaster data breaches we’re representing victims for.
If you know you were affected by the TV licence data breach, you may be eligible to claim data breach compensation.
The news that the British Airways data theft compensation action is set to widen as more victims were affected than first thought was worrying.
Whether you’re a victim of the August to September breach, or the latest news of the April to July Reward Customers breach, we can help. As soon as news broke of the BA data theft incident, we started our legal action and have been taking on cases ever since.
If you have yet to sign up for British Airways data theft compensation, or if you’ve just found out you’re affected by the latest breach news, get in touch for help today.
The news hit last week that the BA data breach compensation just got potentially way bigger than it already was.
IAG, owners of the UK’s biggest airline British Airways, has admitted that a further 185,000 people may have had their data exposed. Last year’s BA data breach was already a monumental incident. It may have just got way bigger, opening the door for way more claims for compensation.
Emails have been sent last week to more potential victims of the BA data breach. This has triggered a new wave of Claimants approaching us for help and advice.
The British Airways data breach class action is set to widen on news that the number of victims may be more than originally thought.
An additional 185,000 customers may also have been affected by the British Airways data breach that was revealed last month. The 15-day cyber-attack has compromised the details of hundreds of thousands of payment cards.
We’re acting for a number of victims who have been affected by the British Airways data breach. The class action may well widen if the additional victims are verified as affected.
A Bupa data breach has led to a significant fine from regulators in the sum of £175,000.00 after 198 complaints were made.
The breach period occurred between January and March 2017, meaning it has not attracted a GDPR fine. However, a large fine was levied because Bupa were found to have failed to take enough action to protect their customers’ data.
It has also transpired that customer data was vulnerable at the time of the initial data breach. This stemmed from a lack of monitoring of their customer relationship management system, known as SWAN.
The ICO may be looking into the recent Telford & Wrekin Council data breach. This appears to be another preventable public sector data breach.
The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) may need to investigate the breach, which has been referred to the regulator. Whether they look further into the breach may depend on the risks the breach causes. This can also be interlinked in terms of whether a person has grounds for a claim as well.
The latest Telford & Wrekin Council data breach is said to be one in a line of incidents that have taken place since April. This particular breach is reportedly the second recent one to be referred to the ICO.
