ICO announce BA fine of £20 million
Ba fine issued: The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) announced that British Airways would receive a dramatically reduced fine of just £20 million.
The BA fine announcement came as a shock to many after the ICO’s proposed intention to fine was originally set at £183 million last year.
We are currently representing victims of the British Airways data breach for legal cases on a No Win, No Fee basis. If you have been affected by the breach, you could be eligible to join the group action claim now. Whilst the ICO has announced the hugely reduced BA fine, it is still vital that fight for the rights of the victims of the breach to get the justice that they deserve for the loss of control of their personal information.
The Flagship Group data breach
The Flagship Group data breach occurred on Sunday 1st November, resulting in Flagship Group’s systems and online services having to be taken offline.
The Group has since taken down more of their systems to prevent the further spread of the cyberattack as well.
The extent of the breach remains unknown but the personal details for both customers and staff may have been exposed in the Flagship group data breach. In their housing branch, Flagship Homes, they are understood to currently employ over 1,200 staff and own and manage 31,000 homes in England. Based on these figures, it could be that a significant number of people have been affected by the incident.
BA data breach claim deadline is fast approaching
The BA data breach claim deadline is fast approaching and is due to fall early next year. 2021 is just around the corner, so there really is not a lot of time left to get involved.
It is vital for people to start their claim as soon as they can, even if people feel that they have plenty of time left to do so. The deadlines come around quick and there is more to it than just lodging a case. People commonly miss the deadline and then come to us after they have passed, and we must sadly turn those people away.
Our advice is always the same. If you were a victim of this data breach, head over to the BA Group Action website here now and do not delay any further.
