The Irish DPA has fined Meta Platforms Ireland Limited EUR 265 million. The DPA had launched an investigation against Meta in 2021 after media reports indicated that a dataset containing personal data from Facebook had been made available on a hacking platform. The data leak affected up to 533 million users with their data such as phone numbers and email addresses. As part of the investigation, the DPA reviewed and assessed the Facebook Search, Facebook Messenger Contact Importer and Instagram Contact Importer tools. The DPA primarily reviewed the implementation of technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and found a breach of Art. 25 GDPR
