EasyJet Data Breach

EasyJet data breach in 2020: What happened?

The private information of 9 million passengers was exposed as part of a highly sophisticated cyberattack in 2020. EasyJet reported that the victims of the incident were all travellers who booked easyJet tickets in the period between 17 October 2019 and 4 March 2020.

Among the disclosed easyJet data are:

• whole names
• emails
• travel itineraries

Furthermore, the low-cost airline informed that more than 2,200 air passengers had their credit card details stolen.

The safety of affected passengers may be threatened due to these financial and personal data breaches that usually lead to negative consequences. Using stolen information of the victims, the hackers can easily access their bank accounts, open new ones and commit crimes.

The victims might still have a significant emotional setback, even without suffering any material damage. They may experience anxiety and stress related to the extra caution needed as an outcome of the breach.

Unfortunately, the company showed no concerns for the affected passengers. EasyJet simply reported the incident and advised the passengers to be attentive as their data might be compromised. No financial support was offered to its customers to compensate for the psychological suffering.

Besides, easyJet notified the ICO of the UK, Information Commissioner's Office, about the incident in January 2020. This is four months earlier than when the company informed its passengers.

Data protection breach compensation: am I eligible?

There are two laws in force in the UK that protect privacy rights of anyone affected by the data breach. These are Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is the same as GDPR in the U.

When your personal data is leaked, compromised or hacked, you can refer to these legislations. They provide rules for companies on how to use, keep and handle data of individuals enforcing data privacy rights.

Whenever your rights are violated, you can claim compensation that amounts up to £2,000 in the UK. Regardless of whether you experienced financial losses, you can still ask for GDPR compensation for distress and anxiety related to the data protection breach.

You can request data breach compensation from easyJet if:

• the company sent you the email between April and July 2020 notifying you that you were affected by the incident (titled cyber breach or data breach)
• you file a GDPR breach claim within a deadline which is 6 years from the breach according to the UK law

The following factors do not have any impact on your right to GDPR breach compensation:

• the breach was negligent or deliberate
• the company offered you a free credit monitoring service
• you did not suffer from material damage
