BA facing potential ‘£800m’ lawsuit over data breach
British Airways (BA) is potentially facing the largest privacy class-action lawsuit in UK history over its mass customer data breach that affected 400,000 people, according to a law firm involved.
More than 16,000 people are now understood to have joined a case seeking compensation from the airline over the 2018 incident. PGMBM, the law firm representing the claimants, says each claimant could claim £2,000 each, bringing the total to more than £800m.
