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.
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.
As investigations into the massive BA data breach look to delve deeper into how the attack happened, it appears that it could have been prevented.
Some security researchers believe that the hackers behind the BA data breach attack are the same ones who hit Ticketmaster this year. If this is confirmed, the attack against BA could have been preventable, in theory, had the airline looked at better protecting themselves in the wake of the Ticketmaster data breach
For the victims we’re acting for, the news that the breach could have been preventable is a damning revelation.
The British Airways data breach compensation action is underway, and victims are being urged to join early to make sure they’re entitled to receive damages.

We’re helping victims claim on a No Win, No Fee basis as we’re confident we can win the case.
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.

Customers are being notified if they’re affected, and our Data Leak Lawyers are on the case to advise anyone who has been affected. Any data breach involving credit and debit cards being compromised – which is the case in the British Airways data breach – can put victims at an immediate risk of fraud.
Since British Airways started outsourcing IT operations, a number of issues and incidents have reportedly occurred, although it’s not yet known whether there’s a link between the outsourcing and the data theft revealed yesterday.
You may be entitled to claim compensation as a victim of a council email breach, and our Data Leak Lawyers are here to help you.
A number of council email breaches have taken place over the years, and they can often happen by human error or software problems. Whatever the cause, they are often seen as systemic issues that can be easily resolvable, meaning the breaches should never have happened in the first place. For this reason, depending on the data breached, victims can be entitled to claim for data breach compensation.
It’s understood there have been cases of Equifax data breach fraud committed, perhaps, as a direct result of the breach itself.
Tech company, Forte, produced some stats that indicate some alarming figures in the wake of the Equifax data breach. The data can be interpreted as a possible spike in some fraud incidents after the Equifax data breach took place, which wouldn’t surprise us given the scale and nature of this monumental attack.
It’s another sign that we ought to be far more concerned with regards to data breaches than many people are.
