ICO Issues Merseyside-Based Law Firm £60,000 Fine After Cyber-Attack https://t.co/vjRmo35Ltc
The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has fined a Merseyside-based English law firm £60,000 ($79,465) for inadequate data protection measures following a cyberattack in 2022. The firm failed to implement proper safeguards to protect its clients' personal information, which was subsequently stolen and leaked onto the dark web. The ICO noted that the law firm did not initially recognize the data theft as a breach, leading to the penalty.
