If you want to know whether you were affected by the BA hack and whether you could be entitled to join the official British Airways compensation action, we can help.
The easiest way to know if your information has been exposed in the data breach is if you have received confirmation from the airline that you were affected. If you haven’t received confirmation from them, you should still check; especially if you used BA during the breach periods, which we will outline below.
If it has been confirmed that you have been affected by the attack, you may also be entitled to join the BA Group Action with a No Win, No Fee compensation claim.
As a leading, specialist data breach compensation law firm, we’re often in the news. Last week, we featured in the Mirror with regards to the final deadline for BA compensation cases to be submitted.
Making sure that victims know about the deadline to claim is an important part of the work that we do. We have been – and still are – involved in dozens of group actions, some of which (like the BA Group Action) have formed into a GLO. When a GLO (Group Litigation Order) is established, the court will normally enforce a deadline for people to join, and that’s what we have in the British Airways action.
People need to know that there’s a strict time limit in force to launch your claim, and there’s work that needs to be done to make sure that you hit the deadline.
Need to do a BA data breach check to find out if you can join the official group action that we’re on the Steering Committee for?
There are a few simple steps you can take to find out if you can be eligible now for No Win, No Fee representation. If you’re entitled to launch a case with us, you could be able to claim an estimated £6,000.00 in damages if the claim succeeds.
As we’re on the Steering Committee for this action, we’re at the forefront of the fight for justice and are jointly responsible for the conduct of the litigation overall. As specialist data breach lawyers with a wealth of experience in over 40 different group actions in total, we’re well-placed to be able to help you.
There’s now just one year left to sign-up for a legal case before the BA data breach compensation deadline passes.
You may think that you still have plenty of time to join the BA Group Action with a whole 12 months before the court cut-off date expires. However, it’s important to understand that there’s far more to it than just registering your name and address, and a great deal of work needs to be done.
As we have done so many times in the past when group actions deadlines are in place, we issue advice as to why you should claim now and avoid delay!
It’s important to talk about how the victims who are claiming compensation as part of the BA data class action have been affected.
A lot of the customers who come to us for help have spoken about their concerns when it comes to the loss of control of their personal information. Many have also suffered from fraudulent activity that has happened to accounts linked to the breach.
In reality, there are many ways in which victims can be affected and can be targeted by scammers and criminals who will use the information exposed in the breach to do harm.
2019 has been another big year for data breach compensation actions. As leaks and hacks continue to happen at alarming rates, our work has never been more important than it is now.
People are entitled to claim compensation when their personal information is misused or exposed. You can claim for the distress that’s caused by the loss of control of your data, as well as for any financial losses.
This year, we’ve seen a huge surge in new clients signing-up for our No Win, No Fee services, which is to be expected given our importance in the field.
The Missoma data breach has a very familiar feel to it. In fact, it feels identical to a number of previous breaches, including compensation actions we’re involved with.
Reportedly, an email sent to customers has confirmed that a data breach has taken place and that malicious software from a third-party had been used to target customers’ payment details. It appears that malicious code has been injected into the payments part of the website in order to steal data processed through it.
Although news of the breach has only just broken, the circumstances surrounding the incident appear to be exactly the same as a number of other data breaches that have taken place in recent years as well.
We’ve seen a number of data breaches in 2019, as well as developments in some of the high-profile cases that we’re involved with.
As the year comes to a close, it’s a time to reflect on the fact that there have been 4 billion records breached so far, according to Norton. This is despite the introduction of the GDPR last year that should have pushed organisations into ensuring that leaks, breaches and hacks are always at a minimum.
As the issue of data breaches continues to affect us all, it’s also important for the victims to know their rights when their personal information has been misused or exposed.
As expert lawyers, we feel that it’s important to understand the real impact of a medical data breach, which is something we have a great deal of experience in helping people with.
We have, for a number of years, been asked for help by thousands of people who have been affected by data breach events. Many of them involve medical data as it’s one of the most common types of individual legal cases that we take forward. Some of the group and multi-party actions were’ involved with also involve medical data, with some being incredibly serious and sensitive.
We understand how the victims feel. When people make a medical data breach compensation claim with us, our focus is on ensuring that any justice you deserve reflects what you have had to go through.
Data breach group actions are something that we have been involved with now for several years, and there are dozens of different ones we’re fighting for justice in.
Although we’re involved in dozens of them, we don’t just take any forward without first ensuring that there’s an avenue for victims to be able to receive compensation. There has been so many large-scale incidents in recent years and some involve big name brands, but how we assess which cases we take forward can be a specialist process.
As experts in the field of compensation for data breach events and for group actions and multi-party litigations, we can give you an insight into our approach, as well as explaining what sets us apart form other law firms.
