British Airways data breach compensation

You could be eligible to make a British Airways data breach compensation claim if you were affected by the recent breach.

We’ve launched our legal action for victims affected by the breach. Anyone who made certain purchases, bookings or booking changes during the breach period may be affected.

This was a serious and preventable breach in our view. Full card numbers, expiration dates and security codes (CVV) were exposed. We feel that there were a number of steps that British Airways could have taken to have prevented the breach as well. Both of these are major factors in our legal case against them.

British Airways data breach compensation could have been avoided

In our view, the British Airways data breach compensation action could have been avoided. We believe this because we feel tat the breach itself was very preventable.

The Ticketmaster data breach that took place just weeks before the British Airways one was reportedly carried out by the same hackers. This should have served as a major warning that payment systems were to be targeted, and in fact, security experts predicted it recently as well.

On top of that, the recent GDPR that came into force in May should have been the major catalyst for all companies to make sure they are secure. When the UK’s biggest airline suffers a huge data breach affecting 380,000 payment cards – with data exposed so extensive that victims are put at an imminent risk of fraud – it seems clear to us that they failed to do enough to secure their customers’ data.
