Overview
In 2022, South Staffordshire Water experienced a huge data breach. The privacy violation affected both South Staffs Water and Cambridge Water, which are owned by South Staffordshire Water plc.
The breach happened when criminals stole personal and financial information from water company customers, potentially affecting a quarter of a million people. Employee data may also have been compromised.
Personal information, including bank details, was potentially leaked on the dark web following the cyber-attack and customers of both water companies could be at risk.
If you are affected by this breach, you could be due compensation.

In August 2022, South Staffordshire Water, the parent company of South Staffs Water and Cambridge Water, confirmed a cyber-attack. C10p (otherwise known as Clop) claimed responsibility for the breach. Clop is a Russian-affiliated crime group. Clop demanded a ransom for the stolen data, but said negotiations “broke down”. The hackers also claimed that they could change the chemical composition of the water, but stressed they were “not interested in causing harm to people”. South Staffordshire Water rejected claims that Clop could poison water supplies.

In the UK, if a group of people have experienced loss, or otherwise been harmed by an organisation’s law breaking, they can come together to fight for justice. Levelling the playing field when standing up to big businesses, group actions prove that there is strength in numbers. At Join the Claim, we bring consumers and law firms together to ensure these group actions are as powerful as possible.
We won’t charge you a single penny. And we ensure any law firms we connect you with operate on a no-win-no-fee basis. If you win, the law firm will either take its fees from your compensation payment or recover these from the defendants.
A no-win, no-fee agreement means you don’t pay your solicitor’s legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. This makes it easier and more affordable to take part in group litigation. However, T&Cs apply.
