The UK DPA (ICO) has imposed a fine of £ 60,000 (EUR 70,300) on the law firm DPP Law Ltd. The controller had suffered a cyber attack during which personal data of 791 clients and expert witnesses were exfiltrated and published on the dark web. The DPA found that the controller failed to implement adequate technical and organisational measures to prevent such an attack, including the failure to regularly audit administrative accounts on its network, thereby infringing Art. 5 (1) f), 32 (1), and 32 (2) UK GDPR. The controller also breached Art. 33 (1) UK GDPR by failing to notify the DPA within 72 hours, reporting the incident only 43 days later.
