Equifax cyber breach was entirely preventable

We’ve been stating that the Equifax cyber breach was entirely preventable since we launched our legal action for compensation last year.

Equifax failed to patch a known security vulnerability. On top of that, their staff failed to identify the ongoing vulnerability. To make things worse, they didn’t even spot the data being lifted for months and months.

Although we’ve known this for a while, it’s good to see the same statements from external reports. Unsurprisingly, another report has highlighted this important fact. It’s a fact that means we’re confident in securing compensation in the legal action we’ve launched.

British Airways data breach GDPR questions answered

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?

Were you affected by the TV licence data breach?

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 BA data breach compensation case just got bigger

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.
