EasyJet Hacking and Compensation?

Hi guys,

I received an email from EasyJet following their hacking attack which was announced on the 19th May 2020. An investigation conducted found that my name, email address, and travel details were accessed, including where I was travelling from and to, my departure date, booking reference number, the booking date and the value of the booking were accessed. Luckily my passport and credit card details were not accessed. 


Would I be able to claim compensation as EasyJet have not protected data in the way it is legally obliged to do to which and I have suffered a loss of privacy?

Kind Regards,
Tom

    Only 31 weeks till Christmas. Gotta get that compo from somewhere as the usual food poisoning trick from your two weeks in Benidorm option will have dried up this year.

  • I've also been affected,  and guess what, I've never given compo a thought until I read this post. My thought is why would I want compo😄

    The US lawyers have already arrived and looking for folk to join them in an £18 billion claim against Easyjet. If Easyjet have insurance cover, it certainly won't be for that amount of money so if they were to win, the airline would be no more and Stelios would have a lot more to worry about than trying to cancel new orders for planes

    You'd want compo because it's money!!!  That's why people want it.  What you understand that you're not entitled to compo because there is nothing to compensate for.

    No.
    I'd (personally 'I' that is) want compensation because (if) I'd suffered a loss.
    Not because I saw it as a way to easy, 'not-entitled to' money.
