Are you affected by the British Airways staff data breach? If so, you could be due justice and compensation.
No-win, no-fee
Overview
In June 2023, British Airways confirmed that personal data belonging to current and former staff had been compromised in a serious cyber-attack.
The breach happened via Zellis, a company providing payroll services to BA, after hackers exploited a vulnerability in third-party software.
If you worked for BA and were paid through its UK or Ireland payroll, your personal details could be at risk. This includes sensitive information like your name, address, date of birth, national insurance number, bank details (account number and sort code) and pay information.
This kind of data falling into the wrong hands can lead to fraud and identity theft. And while BA has offered credit monitoring, that doesn’t undo the potential damage.
Lawyers are now bringing compensation claims on behalf of affected BA employees.
