SIXT Data breach event – legal advice

The SIXT data breach event is understood to have stemmed from a cyberattack, with those who are potentially affected being notified about what has happened.

We have already taken instructions forward to pursue claims on a No Win, No Fee basis, and this event may lead to a group or multi-party legal case. If you have received confirmation that you have been potentially affected by this incident, please do not hesitate to contact our legal team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

The SIXT data breach cyberattack event

The Group Action Lawyers have been approached for help as a result of the SIXT data breach cyberattack event that potential victims are being notified about. This event may have resulted in the exposure of particularly personal and sensitive information for both current and former employees, and it may include names, dates of birth, marital information, banking details, and possibly more additional data.

From the information that has been received in terms of instructions from our clients so far, it may be the case that a human resources database has been compromised. Such databases will typically store a significant wealth of very personal and sensitive information which hackers know can be exploited for financial gain. Anyone who has been potentially affected by the SIXT data breach must be wary and vigilant about any potential fraud or theft activity that may ensue.

Possible group or multi-party action

The SIXT data breach cyberattack event could form into a possible group or multi-party action given that many people appear to have been affected by this incident. Such actions could be small and may include a dozen or so people but, if many more people are affected, group and multi-party actions can consist of thousands or even millions of people. We do not know how many people are affected by this particular data breach event but, given that we have already been approached for legal representation, we are preparing matters to be on the basis of a group or multi-party case.

It is much more efficient to pursue actions in a group or multi-party way when many people are affected by the same or similar issue. This way of working can allow for the smooth and efficient processing of the legal claims whilst ensuring that justice is achieved and is based on individual factors that are representative of the case.
