U.K. data regulator fines British Airways $229 million over breach that compromised information on half a million customers.
The U.K. data regulator is fining British Airways 183 million pounds over a breach that compromised information on half a million customers.
The airline revealed in September that it had been the victim of a hack. The scam saw customers diverted to a fake website where credit card details were harvested by the attackers. Britain's Information Commissioner's Office says its investigation found"poor security arrangements" by BA. The regulator said Monday that the fine — equivalent to 1.5% of the airline's annual turnover — is the biggest it has ever imposed.
Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said"the law is clear - when you are entrusted with personal data you must look after it."
