You can claim compensation as a victim of the Newegg data leak. This was a preventable breach in our view, and we can represent you for a legal case.
If you have been affected by the leak that took place between 14th August 2018 and 18th September 2018, we can help if you’re based in England or Wales. This was a ‘digital skim’ attack in the same style as the British Airways and Ticketmaster attacks we’re representing victims for. The same hackers are understood to be behind all three attacks.
In our view, the Newegg data leak was preventable. That’s why we ‘reoffering No Win, No Fee representation for eligible victims
Compensation for British Airways fraud risks forms as part of the legal action we’ve launched following the recent breach.
In the first half of 2018 alone, some £500m has already been stolen from Britons by fraudsters. The risks victims of data breaches are at after an incident can be monumental. The victims of the British Airways data breach have been at an immediate risk of fraud for several weeks. Full card numbers and personal information was hacked in the incident.
Victims can claim compensation for British Airways fraud risks, and claim for any money lost through fraud as well.
Want to know how the Equifax data breach UK compensation works? Don’t ignore your rights just because their parent company is a US one!
Victims in the UK can claim for Equifax data breach compensation within the jurisdiction we operate in, which is England and Wales. We understand how there may be some confusion over whether a UK data breach victim can claim against a US company, but your claim should be with the UK arm.

The British Airways cyber breach was not the first of its kind in the travel sector, nor was it the first breach British Airways have suffered themselves.
The travel sector is a popular target for criminals to hit as there’s a wealth of information that can be stolen; and money to steal as well. This fact alone ought to have been enough of a warning for British Airways to take more care of their customers’ information, yet they were still hacked (again).
What does the Equifax fine mean for the many people we’re representing for compensation claims for last year’s massive data breach?
We launched our Equifax compensation action last year, and we’re still taking new cases on now. The news of the Equifax fine has prompted more people to come forward and join our action, but what does the fine mean for the action on the whole?
The fine and our legal action are separate, but outcomes of regulatory investigations can help legal claims as well.
The British Airways GDPR fine could be as large as £500m, with several more millions on top of that to be paid to victims in compensation.
In terms of a fine, the new GDPR rules mean that a company responsible for a data breach is fined £17m or 4% of the company’s global annual turnover. The potential £500m figure has been based on the estimations of turnover, given how huge British Airways is.
Is this a feasible fine, and what about victims and their rights to compensation? How much could you receive?
We’re approaching the three-week mark since news broke about the massive British Airways data leak. Our compensation action has already been launched.

Victims of the British Airways data leak have been left angry and disappointed, and with good reason. One of the reasons we’ve launched a No Win, No Fee compensation action is because we believe this leak was entirely preventable.
From the leak itself to the “bizarre” responses reported from affected customers, this is 2018’s big data scandal.
British Airway complaints and compensation is one of the big issues in the data world right now. We’ve launched our legal action after the massive breach affecting some 380,000 people.
The legal action we’ve launched on behalf of a number of victims of the breach we represent goes way beyond the rising British Airways complaints and compensation promises. We’re aware victims have had difficulty in getting in touch with British Airways for help, and their FAQ page suggests victims contact their banks. They’ve also assured that no customer will be left out-of-pocket, but there’s more to it than that.
Victims are being urged to sign-up for compensation with us as soon as they can.
The British Airways cyber hack was a disaster waiting to happen for a number of reasons. We’ve launched legal action on the basis this was a preventable incident.

A number of high-profile hacks took place in the lead up to the British Airways cyber hack. These, together with the GDPR that came into force in May this year were clear warnings that, not only would attacks happen, but they can be costly.
How British Airways still managed to fall victim to the attack despite the warnings is concerning.
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.
