Lawyers are now investigating the Adidas data breach – and you could be eligible to claim compensation.
The recent Adidas cyber-attack has put millions of customers at risk after criminals accessed personal information through one of the brand’s third-party service providers. Now, legal experts are stepping in to assess whether affected individuals could be entitled to compensation.
What’s happened so far in the Adidas data breach?
In May 2025, Adidas confirmed a data breach affecting customers who had previously contacted their help desk. The information exposed includes:
- Full names
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Gender
- Dates of birth
Although no payment info or passwords were compromised, this kind of data can still lead to spam, scam attempts, and even identity theft.
What’s being investigated?
Under UK data protection laws, companies have a duty to keep your personal information safe. If Adidas is found to have failed in that duty, by not doing enough to prevent the breach or by delaying notification, affected customers may be entitled to compensation.
A UK law firm is now exploring the possibility of launching a group claim. These types of claims bring together people with similar complaints to take legal action collectively. A group action claim is a powerful way to hold big companies to account.
Do I need to have lost money to join the Adidas lawsuit?
Not necessarily. In many cases, compensation has been awarded for the distress, inconvenience, or loss of control over personal data, even where no direct financial loss occurred.
