In January 2021, London-based estate agents Foxtons experienced a significant data breach. An investigation found that 16,000 customer card details and addresses were put on the dark web as well as correspondence relating to the breach. However, Foxtons did not make customers aware of the breach, no warning or communication of any kind to say that criminals had accessed and exposed their data. Currently, the data that has been found on the dark web only affects customers from prior to 2010 but this could only be a small portion of the data that was stolen from Foxtons.
The attackers have claimed they released only 1% of the stolen data, so they could be selling more recent records secretly, meaning the 16,000 customer records we are aware of that were found on the dark web could be just scratching the surface.
If you are one of the 16,000 people (or more) that have had their personal details accessed in this breach, you could be eligible to make a claim for compensation. We can put you in contact with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together a large number of Foxtons customers.
Compensation is payable not only for specific financial or other losses you have experienced but also for any distress caused by the data breach which could have left you exposed to the risk of fraudulent activity. The revelation of your personal data being hacked and put on the dark web for anyone to see would cause a lot of emotional distress, especially when you haven’t even been informed by the company who allowed that hack to occur.

Data breach experts
We use dedicated data breach solicitors who have handled thousands of data breach claims
Customers have the right to expect that any personal or financial data that they have shared with an organisation, such as Foxtons, is securely stored and handled. When data protection standards have fallen short, and in this case a hack has enabled unauthorised access to your personal data, you can make a claim for compensation.
Foxtons knew about the breach when it occurred at the start of 2021 and chose not to inform possible victims which was a shocking breach of customers trust and a complete dereliction of their duty as a data controller. During the time of the breach, hackers had full opportunity to sell and share the data without victims being given the chance to adopt extra security measures to protect themselves from further fraudulent activities and theft.
If you think you may have a valid Foxtons data breach claim then get in touch with us and we will put you in touch with data breach experts who will make enquiries for you and confirm whether or not you have a valid claim worth pursuing.
We can put you in touch with legal experts who are putting together a group claim whereby the large number of customers can be part of a collective claim for Foxtons data breach compensation. Even if the breach has not led to any direct financial losses to you, you are still entitled to claim compensation for distress caused by the data breach.
