How was customer data breached at Wanelo?

Around December 2018 the digital store Wanelo experienced a data breach in which the information accessed was later placed up for sale on the dark web alongside other data breach details from a range of companies in April 2019. In total 23 million unique email addresses were included in the breach as well as passwords that were stored as either MD5 or bcrypt hashes. It is distressing when any personal information is breached during a hack, especially in this case where the data is then sold on the dark web for any cybercriminal to use.

Can I make a data breach claim against Wanelo?

If you are one of the 23 million users whose data was compromised during the Wanelo cyber-attack you could be entitled to claim compensation. We can put you in touch with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together the large number of Wanelo users. Compensation is payable, not only for any specific financial or other losses you have incurred, but also for any distress caused by the data breach which could have left you open to the risk of fraudulent activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Customers have the right to expect that any personal or financial data that they have shared with an organisation, such as Wanelo, 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.

Even though no financial data was breached in this case the distress victims would experience from knowing their personal information has been accessed and how it could be used means they are eligible for compensation. Data being sold on the dark web could leave people more exposed to future fraudulent attempts from cybercriminals such as phishing attacks. If you are contacted by a person or company trying to get more personal data from you don’t reveal anything until you can confirm their legitimacy.

Bringing a data breach claim not only gets you access to compensation, but also holds a company or organisation to account for their actions. As a result, this will usually prompt them to take the necessary steps to boost their data security measures to ensure that such a breach cannot occur again.

If you think you may have a valid Wanelo 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 Wanelo 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.
