FINALDescription
The UK DPA (ICO) has fined Advanced Computer Software Group Ltd £3.07 million (EUR 3.5 million) for insufficient IT security (infringiment of Art. 32 (1) UK GDPR). The controller failed to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. A ransomware attack in August 2022 allowed hackers to access systems of a health subsidiary via a customer account that lacked multi-factor authentication. As a result, the personal data of 79,404 individuals was put at risk.
