⚠️ When big corporations stumble, workers and taxpayers shouldn’t be left to pick up the bill. The JLR hack is a wake-up call. ⚠️

👉 While JLR staff are still being paid, for workers employed by its suppliers, the price is far more personal: lost wages, mounting bills, and uncertainty about whether their jobs will survive if disruption drags into November.

👉 Underestimating data breaches
For too long, we’ve underestimated the true cost of cyberattacks. They’re not just IT problems; they are events that have the potential to ripple through the economy, shutter factories, and push families onto benefits.

And the impact doesn’t stop there. When personal data is stolen, employees and customers are left exposed to phishing scams, identity theft and financial fraud. What begins as a corporate security failure can quickly become a very real threat to people’s bank accounts, credit scores, and peace of mind.

To make matters worse, according to a media report, JLR failed to finalise a cyber insurance deal ahead of the incident, and appears to be uninsured directly for the attack.

👉 Time for big business to step up
The JLR hack is a wake-up call. Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, more damaging, and more expensive. The human impact is too big to ignore.

Big business must step up. Because when a global corporation stumbles, it shouldn’t be workers, customers, or taxpayers who pay the price.

👉 What you should do if your data is affected
The investigation is ongoing, but JLR has already confirmed that some data was stolen in this attack. That means both employees and customers could face risks such as phishing, scams, and even identity fraud.

If you’re worried you may have been affected, check your eligibility with Join the Claim today. We’ll let you know if compensation could be on the table should a group action follow.

🚨 Flight delays continue across Europe after cyber-attack 🚨

https://jointheclaim.com/flight-delays-continue-across-europe-after-cyber-attack/

Passengers across Europe are facing more delays after a major cyber-attack hit the systems used for check-in and boarding at some of the continent’s busiest airports.

👉 The attack targeted Collins Aerospace – a company whose software underpins airport operations worldwide. Heathrow, Brussels, Dublin and Berlin airports were among those affected, with kiosks and bag-drop machines offline and staff forced to process passengers manually.

👉 The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity confirmed the attack was ransomware, where hackers lock up data and systems in a bid for payment.

👉 What this means if you’re flying: Airports are urging travellers to check their flight status before heading out. Heathrow says most flights are running, but check-in and boarding may take longer. Brussels has seen dozens of cancellations, while Dublin reported disruption but expected to run its schedule.

Even with systems gradually coming back online, delays and cancellations could continue over the coming days as airlines clear the backlog.

👉 Could you be owed compensation? If your flight is cancelled or delayed because of issues within an airline’s control, you may be entitled to compensation. But cyber-attacks can make things less clear. Airlines often argue such incidents are “extraordinary circumstances” – meaning they don’t have to pay out.

However, that doesn’t mean you should accept their first answer. The rules are complicated, and whether you can claim depends on the details of your case.

We’ve broken it all down in plain English in our flight delay compensation guide – so you know exactly where you stand before you make a claim: https://jointheclaim.com/guide/what-you-need-to-know-about-flight-delay-compensation/?utm_source=jointheclaim.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_term=general&utm_content=120212561758310319&fbclid=IwY2xjawM2WCtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETEzRVpBb2VqT1k3WWV5RVZvAR6yGyndEIW4Ca8Gv-r1CLr7pbGvXLnCIcZ03UrU2bKPslZ_45va-kFZVGErnw_aem_K8_e4RNd9v_m45md2Nre7g&gclid=CjwKCAjwwNbEBhBpEiwAFYLtGNlMav2FNY4sdALebi_n6dTBZd8b_rnfX3E0BJb9Pxhk2L-of4MRixoCnJ4QAvD_BwE&first_touch_source=jointheclaim.com&first_touch_medium=referral&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fl.facebook.com%2F

💷 Borrow £33k. Pay back £660k.
Could you be due compensation for “unfair” bank deals?

Two of Britain’s biggest banks – Barclays and Bank of Scotland – are being taken to court over mortgage products that left some customers facing debts worth many times what they originally borrowed.

The legal action, centres on shared appreciation mortgages (Sams), sold between 1996 and 1998. These products were marketed as a way for older homeowners to release cash from their property without monthly repayments.

In return, borrowers agreed to give the bank a large share of any increase in the value of their home. At the time, this might have seemed manageable. But with house prices soaring in the decades since, some customers are now trapped with eye-watering debts.

Banks are being sued over shared appreciation mortgages, with some borrowers owing up to 20 times their original loan.

⚠️ September 2025: Do YOU know which big claims could affect you right now? Check what’s on your radar before it’s too late. ⏳

🚘 Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack claim
In early September, Jaguar Land Rover was hit by a major cyberattack. JLR has said there is “no evidence” of stolen customer data. But experts warn that in major attacks, proof of data theft often emerges weeks or months later. Cybersecurity specialists are advising customers to stay alert for targeted phishing scams.

✈️ Delta & United “windowless window seat” claims
Two of America’s biggest airlines are accused of charging passengers extra for “window” seats that don’t actually have windows. Lawsuits filed in New York and California claim Delta and United sold over a million of these premium seats without warning customers that they’d be staring at a blank wall.

🧑‍⚖️ Court of Appeal – landmark data breach ruling
Data breaches are becoming more common, and this ruling strengthens the rights of consumers to hold organisations accountable. If your personal information has been exposed in a breach, you could be entitled to compensation. We can help you check your eligibility and connect you with a regulated UK law firm ready to act on your behalf.

🛍️ Amazon antitrust class action
Although this claim is currently U.S.-based, the outcome could influence how Amazon operates globally. If you shop on Amazon UK, you could also join a UK claim. Here, lawyers allege it abused its dominance by favouring its own offers or certain sellers in the Buy Box, even when cheaper options were available. Experts estimate this could have cost UK shoppers over £1 billion in overpayments.

🎓 University strike claim
Students across the UK continue to seek compensation for disruption caused by university strikes. Some universities have already been forced to pay out. Newcastle University handed over £2.4 million to more than 10,000 students earlier this summer, setting what many believe is a precedent for other institutions.

🪤 Subscription trap lawsuits
A new class action in the U.S. claims Adobe misleads customers into signing up for subscriptions that are harder and more expensive to cancel than they appear. Plaintiffs say key terms are hidden, early cancellation fees are hefty, and the process is deliberately complex.

🛍️ Temu privacy lawsuits
Millions of UK shoppers have already downloaded Temu. UK GDPR offers protection, but enforcement is reactive — meaning risks often come before regulation. If UK regulators confirm misuse, affected consumers could join a claim for compensation. Register your interest to stay informed.

🛍️ Shein lawsuits pile up
Fast-fashion giant Shein faces mounting legal pressure. In the U.S., it’s being sued for allegedly spamming a consumer with marketing texts despite their number being on the Do Not Call Registry. While, in the UK, Shein faces a £5.8 million VAT lawsuit, accused of manipulating import declarations to dodge tax.

⚠️ Jaguar Land Rover confirms data was stolen in cyberattack ⚠️

On 10 September 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) confirmed for the first time that data was stolen during the cyberattack that forced the company to shut down systems and halt production earlier this month.

👉 What JLR has said so far
In its latest statement, JLR admitted that “some data has been affected” as a result of the attack. The company did not specify:

👉 How much information may have been stolen
Whether any of its 30,000 employees are among those affected.
JLR added that its forensic investigation “continues at pace” and that it will “contact anyone as appropriate if we find that their data has been impacted.”

👉 Why this update matters
Until now, JLR had maintained there was “no evidence” that customer or employee data had been stolen. That position has now changed. Confirmation that data has in fact been taken means the risks for customers and staff are real, even if the full scale is not yet known.

This shift is important because stolen data can lead to a range of harms, from targeted phishing emails to identity theft. It also raises serious questions about JLR’s handling of security — particularly as this is the second major data-related incident the company has suffered in 2025.
