Virgin Media Data Breach, Executive Team Telling me to go straight to Court
Recently had a data breach caused by VM where a 3rd party was able to change information on my account. I put a complaint in and VM held their hands up and admitted fault. I was given compensation for the customer experience element however I stated I wanted further compensation due to the data breach itself. The executive team is saying they won’t discuss the data breach and I need to take legal action for this. However surely they need to provide a response or try to work on a solution prior to any legal action or the case will be thrown out? Do I need to raise a new complaint for the data breach which is possible on their site, also does the ombudsman look into privacy and data issue? If anyone’s had any experience it would be great to hear. All the VM staff are giving misleading information and avoiding the resolution for the data breach.Hacked email account
Hi My son’s Virgin email account (not my account holder email) has been hacked, likely by a phishing email. He has since changed his password but it looks like the hacker still has access as is replying to emails and deleting others. We tried the malware scanners but nothing found. What else can we do? We tried the VM chat but only advice was to forward the phishing emails on. Any help or advice would be greatly received.
