Airline data breach incidents is a hot topic right now off the back of the recent British Airways data breach. We recently launched a legal case as a result of the breach.
Airline data breach incidents can be incredibly serious. The amount of personal and sensitive data that an airline holds is substantial enough to cause serious distress and monetary loss. Victims affected by a breach like the British Airways hack can be entitled to compensation.
For advice, please contact the team or read on for more general guidance.
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.

The British Airways cyber breach was not the first of its kind in the travel sector, nor was it the first breach British Airways have suffered themselves.
The travel sector is a popular target for criminals to hit as there’s a wealth of information that can be stolen; and money to steal as well. This fact alone ought to have been enough of a warning for British Airways to take more care of their customers’ information, yet they were still hacked (again).
What does the Equifax fine mean for the many people we’re representing for compensation claims for last year’s massive data breach?
We launched our Equifax compensation action last year, and we’re still taking new cases on now. The news of the Equifax fine has prompted more people to come forward and join our action, but what does the fine mean for the action on the whole?
The fine and our legal action are separate, but outcomes of regulatory investigations can help legal claims as well.
We’re launching legal action for Newegg data breach compensation. The tech company has been hit with a malware injection that’s believed to have been skimming payment card data for over a month.
Yesterday, Newegg announced that they’d discovered malware on one of their servers, and that a number of their customers may be at risk from their payment card data being exposed. Newegg are said to be contacting affected customers, and anyone in England and Wales who has been affected can contact us for help.
The full extent of the data breach has yet to be revealed, but we’re launching our Newegg data breach compensation action immediately given the nature of the breach.
British Airways complaints have understandably risen in the aftermath of the massive payment card data breach, but what about compensation?

In terms of British Airways complaints over the recent data breach, we understand that the advice they have given is to contact your bank. We have launched a compensation action, so you can instruct us directly to recover any compensation you are due.
As investigations into the massive BA data breach look to delve deeper into how the attack happened, it appears that it could have been prevented.
Some security researchers believe that the hackers behind the BA data breach attack are the same ones who hit Ticketmaster this year. If this is confirmed, the attack against BA could have been preventable, in theory, had the airline looked at better protecting themselves in the wake of the Ticketmaster data breach
