Anybody signed up for this?

I am fortunately not affected by this. But anything that keeps the pressure on these incompetent companies has to be a very good thing indeed.

Same outfit also mentioned in this thread

Might as well sign up for compensation for the Easyjet, Ryanair and whatever breaches the ambulance chasers can find while you are at it.

That is a spectacularly bad website. Ambulance chasing at its best.

My understanding is that there isn't really such a thing as a "class action" in the UK. Don't think you're going to get a bazillion dollars for this. The ambulance-chasing lawyers will take their cut (if they manage to win) so I imagine you might get fifteen quid at the end of the day.

Think about it.

I can see why people are upset as this direct affects them but I'll bet nearly everyone looking at this claims thing has been a victim of other data breaches but no one is batting an eye at them.

Check haveIbeenpwnd and I'll bet there are many more places you've lost data and aren't going down this route.

Very likely.

I've signed up with CIFAS and Experian ID check. No much else I can do really except, as always, be alert.
