The BA data breach fine is set to be a record £183m; the first major fine of its kind in the UK since the new GDPR rules came into force last year.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has referenced poor security that led to the information for hundreds of thousands of people to be comprised. We’re acting on behalf of a number of victims of the breach, and news of the fine has led to an influx of new inquiries.

The British Airways data breach led to the information for 380,000 payment cards being compromised. The exposed data included full card numbers, expiry dates and security codes (CVV) on the reverse of cards, as well as the personal information for the cardholder.
Victims of the breach have been put at an immediate risk of theft and fraud, and it’s possible that the hackers have already sold the payment card information that was stolen. Follow this guidance for what to do if you are affected by the breach. You may be eligible to join our compensation group.
Lloyds Banking Group have announced that card replacement are being issued to customers affected by the Ticketmaster and British Airways data breaches.
The Data Leak Lawyers – representing victims in over 20 different data breach actions – are fighting for the rights of victims in both these breaches. The news that Lloyds is issuing replacement cards after the data breaches comes as no surprise. With victims of both data breach incidents at immediate risk of fraud, people need protection.
There’s so much more victims can do in terms of justice for both breaches. We launched our group actions for both the British Airways data breach and the Ticketmaster data breach as soon as news broke of the incidents.
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 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?
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.
