Easyjet Data Leak Compensation Query?

DIYhelp76

Hi, apologies if this isn't in the right forum board.

A while ago Easyjet sent emails to some customers confirming that their data had been leaked from an Easyjet booking. My friend received one of these emails.

We recently came across an advert by a firm of solicitors who are offering a "no win, no fee" arrangement to start a type of class (group) action against Easyjet in an attempt to recover compensation for people who suffered as a result of this data leak. 

We've since googled and it seems there are now many solicitor firms trying to sign people up to their class action.

Is this worth pursuing?  Are there risks re court fees etc if the case is lost?  It seems that there are no fees to pay to the solicitor if the case is lost, but just want to be sure we're not missing anything before signing up.

The firms we've seen include Leigh Day and Johnson Law Group.  Does anyone have any experience of either of these firms to say which might be the better one to proceed with?

Many thanks in advance.

Before signing up with ambulance-chasers, it might be worth considering if anyone has actually (as opposed to potentially) suffered as a result of this data leak and in what way?  There was a tiny proportion of the affected population who had card data leaked, but beyond those, it's not clear what losses any others suffered....
