Major payouts. Fresh lawsuits. And new chances for compensation.
This month, several big-name brands and institutions are facing legal heat – from shocking data breaches to dangerous product recalls. Here’s what you need to know.
Afghan MoD data breach claim
A serious data breach at the UK Ministry of Defence exposed the personal details of hundreds of Afghan interpreters and their families. Sensitive information was accidentally shared via email, potentially putting lives at risk.
You could be owed money if:
- You applied to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) or related schemes.
- You’ve received notification from the Ministry of Defence that your data was involved in this breach.
Where to sign up
As details of the Afghan MoD data breach emerge, there are serious questions about accountability, security, and justice for those affected.
If your data was exposed in this breach, we’ll help you find out if you could be eligible for compensation, and if so, connect you with a specialist legal team at no cost to you.
Flo data misuse claim
Flo, the popular period tracking app, has come under fire after allegations it shared sensitive health data with third parties without proper consent. A class action in Canada has already moved forward, and lawyers are now preparing for a UK case.
You could be owed money if:
- You used the Flo app to track periods, ovulation, or pregnancy.
- You’re concerned your data was shared without permission.
What to do now
GDPR protects sensitive health data. If Flo shared your data without consent, your rights may have been violated under UK law. If you’re affected, register to keep an eye on this case. We’ll update you if a UK group action opens.
Citroën airbag recall
Citroën has issued a rare stop-drive notice for certain models fitted with defective Takata airbags. These airbags can explode on deployment, sending metal fragments into the car – a fault linked to injuries and fatalities worldwide.
You could be owed money if:
- You own a Citroën C3 or DS3 model subject to the recall.
What to do now
UK law firms are now exploring a potential group action against Citroën. If you’ve been impacted, check your eligibility, register your interest, and we’ll keep you in the loop.
Booking.com claims
Booking.com is in the spotlight after reports of unfair practices. Two potential claims are brewing:
You could be owed money if:
- You lost money on a Booking.com reservation
- You run a property listed on Booking.com and faced undisclosed charges

Microsoft & Google AI claim
Microsoft and Google are under investigation for allegedly using people’s personal data to train their AI systems. Legal teams across the country are investigating claims. If proven, this could amount to a serious breach of data protection laws, and those affected could be entitled to compensation.
You could be owed money if:
You’ve used services we all use every day, like Gmail, Outlook, Chrome, Word, Teams, Xbox Live, YouTube, and Google Maps.
What to do now
UK lawyers estimate that affected individuals could be entitled to anywhere from £1,000 to £25,000, depending on the severity of the misuse and the kind of data involved.
Answer a few straightforward questions, and you’ll know if you could qualify for a Microsoft & Google AI data misuse group action claim.
Paddy Power & Betfair data breach claim
Flutter Entertainment has confirmed a data breach impacting up to 800,000 UK and Irish users across Paddy Power and Betfair. The incident exposed email addresses, IPs and account activity logs, though no financial or password details were compromised. Still, fraud risks are high.
You could be owed money if:
- You had a Paddy Power or Betfair account during the breach
- You’ve received a security warning from Flutter

Apple and Google monopoly claim
The UK competition watchdog is planning new rules to curb Apple and Google’s control of smartphones. Together, they run nearly every phone in the UK, and critics say this limits choice and pushes up prices.
The CMA wants to give both companies “strategic market status,” which would let it force changes like:
- Lower app store fees (currently up to 30%).
- Allowing payments outside app stores.
- More options for browsers and digital wallets.
- Better compatibility for apps and devices.
The CMA will make its decision later this year. If the rules go ahead, big changes could be coming to your phone.
