TalkTalk data breach

I am one of the 160,000 customers who had their information stolen and I am wondering whether anybody has taken TalkTalk to the small claims court for the cost, inconvenience and stress caused by this breach and tjhe disclosure of your information to international criminal organisations. I have tried to find lawyers who would be prepared to take a class or group action but the few that had websites open have now deleted these sites, so I assume that they are now longer interested in pursuing TalkTalk. Nor are the so called "consumer organisations" planning to hold TalkTalk to account. Paper tigers all. It seems nobody is willing to support the consumer. So it is up to individuals to pursue TalkTalk. Imagine if all affected customers lodged individual claims in the small claims court. The cost of defending 160000 cases would be prohibitively expense, especially as TalkTalk cannot claim their legal costs against the plaintiff win or lose. Any comments would be appreciated.
