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.

British Airways data breach class action set to widen

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.

Npower sent out some 5,000 letters addressed to customers with solar panels. However, the letters contained the details for other customers as opposed to the information for the addressee. Some contained additional sheets containing further information for more customers.

Npower has apologised for the breach, which has been referred to the ICO (Information Commissioner’s office).

More on how the British Airways data hack was preventable

We’ve said a few times now that the British Airways data hack was preventable. That’s why we launched our legal action for justice last month.

There are a number of reasons as to how it could have been prevented. Aside from the motivator of GDPR that should have triggered a mind-set of change, there were other warning sings too. The Ticketmaster data breach – carried out by the same attackers – sent a clear warning that, arguably, British Airways failed to take heed of. Before the British Airways data hack, we wrote about the targeting of payment systems and how we were just seeing the tip of the iceberg.

But there was also another major warning sign that British Airways appeared to not act on as well.

Compensation for Newegg data leak victims

You can claim compensation as a victim of the Newegg data leak. This was a preventable breach in our view, and we can represent you for a legal case.

If you have been affected by the leak that took place between 14th August 2018 and 18th September 2018, we can help if you’re based in England or Wales. This was a ‘digital skim’ attack in the same style as the British Airways and Ticketmaster attacks we’re representing victims for. The same hackers are understood to be behind all three attacks.
