British Airways Plc faces the largest privacy class-action lawsuit in UK history
over its 2018 customer data breach.
More than 16,000 victims have now joined a case seeking compensation from the airline. They could claim 2,000 pounds ($2,724) each, according to PGMBM, the law firm representing the claimants.
“We trust companies like British Airways with our personal information and they have a duty to all of their customers and the public at large to take every possible step to keep it safe,†Tom Goodhead, a partner at PGMBM, said.
