ICO Upholds £1,000 Fine Against TalkTalk for Personal Data Breach

ICO Upholds £1,000 Fine Against TalkTalk for Personal Data Breach - ISPreview UK: "ICO then raised the issue with TalkTalk on 20th November and the ISP confirmed reception of that letter. However it then took until 27th November before TalkTalk’s Information Security Officer, Mike Rabbitt, was able to confirm that an investigation had been started, although they didn’t officially confirm that a data breach had occurred until 1st December.

TalkTalk claims that the delay in reporting the breach was because “the incident had not been reported to either [TalkTalk’s] Information Security or Fraud team.”

In February 2016 the ICO informed TalkTalk that they intended to impose a fine for the reporting failure, which TalkTalk opposed and ultimately the case went to appeal.

 Suffice to say that the Tribunal was unanimous in dismissing TalkTalk’s appeal." 'via Blog this'
