Here\u2019s how you can sign-up to start your Virgin Media data breach compensation claim<\/strong> today<\/strong><\/a> with our No Win, No Fee representation.<\/p>\n

As this matter will likely form into a group action, a separate website has been established for victims to claim as part of one group. This has been set up with the same infrastructure we already have in place as a firm involved in dozens of other group and multi-party actions.<\/p>\n

Signing up for a legal case is quick and easy. All you need to do is head over to the Virgin Media Data Breach Group Action site here<\/strong><\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About the new site<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new site<\/strong><\/a> has been set up for people to be able to start their Virgin Media data breach compensation claim quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is complete the forms to make sure you\u2019re eligible to join and then you can sign up for our No Win, No Fee representation immediately. This allows you to start a real case as legal action has been formally launched. This is not a basic registration service for people to be kept informed about a potential action; this is your way to start your real case for compensation<\/strong><\/a> as part of a group.<\/p>\n

As long as you\u2019ve received confirmation from Virgin Media that you\u2019re one of the 900,000 people affected by the data breach, you should be eligible to join<\/p>\n

What is the Virgin Media data breach compensation action?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Virgin Media data breach compensation action that has been launched is for those affected by the recent cybersecurity event that was announced earlier in March.<\/p>\n

As a result of a \u201chuman error\u201d event, the information for 900,000 had been left unsecure and exposed between April 2019 and 28th<\/sup> February 2020. During this breach period, at least one unknown third-party is understood to have accessed the information.<\/p>\n

The action that has been launched is for victims to receive the justice that they deserve. If Virgin Media is fined by the ICO (Information Commissioner\u2019s Office), that money won\u2019t be going to the victims. As such, those affected by the breach can make their own legal case for compensation with us. You could be eligible to receive thousands of pounds in damages for any distress caused by the incident and for any financial losses suffered also.<\/p>\n

Getting started is easy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We understand the concern that people have when their personal data is misused or exposed. We\u2019re only three months into 2020, and we\u2019ve already seen the LOQBOX data breach, news of the MGM Resorts exposure and now Virgin Media<\/strong><\/a> exposing people\u2019s information.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the work that we do is so important, and we strive to make sure that people can access the justice they deserve easily and on a No Win, No Fee basis.<\/p>\n

To get started with your Virgin Media data breach compensation case, all you need to do is complete the simple forms here<\/a><\/strong> and we\u2019ll do the rest for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
