The Irish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 460,000 on Centric Health Ltd.. The controller suffered a ransomware attack in which personal data such as name, date of birth and contact details were accessed, altered and destroyed without authorization. Data records of approximately 70,000 people were affected, of which 2,500 were permanently affected. The DPA's investigation found that the healthcare facility had failed to implement adequate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, which facilitated such an attack.
