About the Emma Sleep cyberattack
We are accepting instructions for anyone who has been affected by the Emma Sleep cyberattack as we commence our initial investigations into claims for data breach compensation.
According to instructions that we have received so far, emails have been sent to customers recently advising that they may have been caught up in a cyberattack. Information may have been exposed or misused, and this could include personal details like names and addresses, and potentially payment card information also.
According to The Register, the cyberattack involves card skimming from the Emma Sleep website, and that data may have been scraped whether a purchase was completed or not. The hackers behind the attack are said to be Magecart, who have been able to successfully scrape payment card data from a number of other organisations in high-profile cyberattacks in the past. These include the British Airways cyberattacks of 2018, and the Ticketmaster attack of the same year.
Our legal team already represents thousands of victims claiming data breach compensation in those two breaches.
