Record £183m BA data breach fine

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.

There’s still time to join the British Airways data breach compensation action. We’re fighting for justice for victims on a No Win, No Fee basis as part of the pending group action for damages.

The British Airways data breach and what to do

Need to know more about the huge British Airways data breach and what to do if you were affected? We can help you.

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.

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?

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.
