You could be entitled to significant compensation.
More than 420,000 customers had their personal data stolen between August 2018 and September 2018.
The ‘poor security arrangements’ BA had in place cost them £20 million in fines from the ICO, but not a single penny of this money will go to those affected by the breach.
Now it is time for the victims to be compensated.
The personal information that was taken in the attack included:
• Full names
• Debit and credit card numbers
• Addresses
• Email addresses
• CVV numbers
Other details thought to have been accessed include the combined card and CVV numbers of 77,000 customers and card numbers of another 108,000 customers.
BA customers were advised to monitor financial transactions on their accounts and, in some cases, recommended to cancel their cards.
Usernames and passwords of BA employee and administrator accounts, as well as usernames and PINs of up to 612 BA Executive Club accounts, were also potentially accessed in the attack.
In excess of 420,000 people were affected by the breach and PGMBM is already representing thousands of them.
If you received an email from British Airways in September 2018 about your involvement in the breach, you are eligible to join our claim and may be able to claim compensation.
The email was sent in September 2018, so it is important that you check through old emails. This includes your junk and spam folders.
Try searching for a subject line: ‘Criminal Theft of Customer Data, more information’.
We understand it can be difficult to find emails that are more than two years old, so we will do everything we can to assist you.
There is limited time to join the action. Sign-up now to avoid missing out!
Please note: If you did not receive an email from BA notifying you that you were a victim, you are not eligible to claim.
Article 82 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) states that you have a right to compensation for non-material damage. This means those affected are entitled to compensation for the stress, frustration, and anxiety associated with the breach.
This is not the first time that BA’s IT security systems have been compromised. They have treated their customers’ personal information poorly over the past few years and it is time to take action.
You could be owed significant compensation in this case. Do not wait around; join our claim now and get back what you are owed.
The case is being handled on a No-Win, No-Fee basis, so there is no risk attached to you.
Our Conditional Fee Agreement means we will only charge you if your claim is successful. This fee is capped at 35% of the damages that you recover.
In the unlikely event that we are not successful, our insurance policies protect you against reimbursing the costs of the Defendants’ legal teams.
It takes under a minute to join. What are you waiting for?
