Group actions for cyberattacks in the UK

Group and multi-party actions for cyberattacks in the UK are quite common these days, and we represent thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis engaged in cases of this nature.

If you have been notified that your information has been misused or exposed as a result of a cyberattack, you could be eligible to pursue a GDPR compensation claim as part of a group action. You can contact our team for free, no-obligation legal help here now.

Pursuing group action compensation for cyberattacks in the UK

You could be able to pursue a group action compensation claim for cyberattacks in the UK if your personal information has been misused or exposed in an incident of this nature. As things stand, hacks and data breaches that are caused by criminals trying to steal information have become one of the most common forms of group and multi-party legal cases in the UK. Typically, one cyberattack could result in the information for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or more being affected. When multiple people are affected by the same or similar incident, that is when a group or multi-party action case could be pursued.

As things stand, we have launched over 60 group and multi-party actions for data breach matters alone, and several of them involve cyberattack incidents. When it comes to succeeding with a compensation claim, if we can demonstrate there has been a breach of the GDPR on the part of the organisation responsible for protecting the information involved, that is when you could claim. For example, if they fail to deploy adequate cybersecurity to protect your information and prevent such an attack from being successful, that is when you may have a legitimate case to pursue.

If you have received notification that your information has been affected by any cyberattacks in the UK, we may be able to proceed with a No Win, No Fee compensation case for you now. You can contact our team here for free, no-obligation legal advice to find out if we are able to help you today.

High-profile examples we fight for justice in

There have been many high-profile cyberattacks in the UK that resulted in group and multi-party actions being launched, and our firm being instructed to fight for justice for those affected. These include the TalkTalk cyberattack of 2015, which was a major one that we have represented people for. There was also the significant Equifax hack of 2017 that stemmed from the organisation failing to patch a known security flaw, leaving the information of millions of people vulnerable. The following year in 2018 saw the monumental British Airways cyberattacks, of which some claims for those actions have been settled, and we continue to represent thousands of people engaged in legal cases. In respect of airlines, just two years later in the midst of the COVID pandemic, EasyJet suffered a cyberattack that affected some nine million of their customers.

These are just some of the high-profile examples of data breaches that have stemmed from hacks in the UK, and we represent thousands of clients combined in all those actions above.
