We have been representing BA data breach claimants since news of the incidents first emerged, working on a No Win, No Fee basis for our clients.<\/p>\n<p>If you have yet to <strong>start your BA Group Action case<\/strong>, here\u2019s a little about what\u2019s going on and what action you need to take.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Background to the BA data breach class action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The BA data breach class action is an action for compensation for victims of the 2018 cyberattacks that hit the airline.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeking compensation on behalf of victims for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any distress and suffering caused;<\/li>\n<li>Any financial losses caused;<\/li>\n<li>The mere fact you were a victim of the breach as a result of the recent court hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are representing claimants who place their case with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been informed by British Airways that you were a victim of either of the cyberattack incidents, we can help you.

It\u2019s set to be the first group action of its kind that has taken place where the claim will fall under GDPR; the new legislation for data protection that came into force in May 2018.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also one of the few data breach group litigation orders in existence as well, and it may set precedents for how future group and multi-party actions are managed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to separate the recent intention to fine from the Information Commissioner Office\u2019s (ICO) fine and our action for justice. Money from the fine is not intended to be used for compensation, which is why the action we are taking is important. Our action is designed to obtain justice for the victims of the breach incidents.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Joining the BA data breach class action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We recommend that you <strong>sign-up to join the BA data breach class action as soon as you can<\/strong>. Although the deadline is set for January 2021, we can tell you from considerable experience that a lot of people miss out.<\/p>\n<p>We still get fresh enquires form people who missed the court cut-off dates for actions from years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BA data breach class action is one of over 40 different group and multi-party actions that our lawyers are proudly fighting for justice in.
