From big tech lawsuits to major data breaches, a number of high-profile claims are currently developing across the UK. Some could involve millions of consumers, while others focus on specific groups of customers or users whose data may have been exposed.
Here’s a round-up of the cases worth keeping an eye on this spring.
Apple and Amazon competition claim
A proposed group action is accusing Apple and Amazon of anti-competitive behaviour that may have pushed up the price of Apple and Beats products. The case is seeking £900 million in compensation for around 10 million UK consumers who bought Apple or Beats products from October 2018 onwards.
You could be affected if:
- You bought an Apple or Beats product from a UK retailer
- The purchase was made between 31 October 2018 and 15 December 2025
- The purchase was not part of a mobile network contract.
What to do now
If the claim succeeds, eligible consumers may be able to receive a share of the compensation. Find out more and register for updates.
TfL data breach
Transport for London suffered a major cyber-attack in 2024 that reportedly exposed a large database of customer information. Investigations suggest the breach may have affected around 10 million people, making it one of the largest known data breaches involving a UK public body.
You could be affected if:
You had a TfL account, Oyster card, or travel history linked to personal details.
What to do now
Law firms are monitoring developments and may investigate potential claims if evidence shows data protection failures. Find out more and register for updates.
ManoMano data breach
Online DIY marketplace ManoMano has confirmed that customer data was accessed in a cyberattack discovered in January 2026. The breach occurred through a third-party customer service provider, meaning information shared during support conversations may have been exposed. A hacker claimed that approximately 37.8 million accounts across Europe were affected.
You could be affected if:
- You contacted ManoMano customer support
- You shared personal information through support tickets or messages.
What to do now
While passwords were not reportedly compromised, customer support messages can contain sensitive information such as:
- Delivery addresses
- Order details
- Invoices
- Attachments and correspondence.
Apple iCloud competition claim
A £3 billion claim has been launched against Apple over the way its iCloud storage service is offered to UK consumers. Consumer group Which? alleges Apple breached competition law by making it difficult for rival cloud storage providers to compete on Apple devices. Because of this, the claim says Apple may have been able to charge higher prices for iCloud subscriptions.
You could be affected if:
- You used paid iCloud storage in the UK
- You paid for additional storage after 1 October 2015
What to do now
The claim focuses on users who paid for extra storage beyond Apple’s free 5GB allowance. Find out more and register for updates.
CarGurus data breach
Online car marketplace CarGurus has reportedly been targeted by the hacking group ShinyHunters. Attackers claim to have stolen a large dataset containing millions of records. Some reports suggest the breach could involve more than 12 million email addresses.
You could be affected if:
- You created or used a CarGurus account
- You submitted personal or finance-related information on the platform.
What to do now
In the United States, lawsuits have already been filed following the incident. If similar legal action emerges in the UK, affected users could potentially seek compensation. Find out more and register for updates.
Steam gaming claim
A competition claim has also been filed against Valve, the company behind the Steam gaming platform. The case alleges Valve used its dominant position in the PC gaming market to restrict competition and keep prices artificially high. Lawyers behind the case estimate the claim could affect around 14 million UK gamers who purchased games or add-on content through Steam.
You could be affected if:
- You bought PC games or add-on content through Steam
- The purchase was made from June 2018 onwards
What to do now
If the claim succeeds, eligible gamers may receive compensation linked to alleged overcharges. Find out more and register for updates.
