British Airways Hit With Record Fine For Data Breach
AmiMoJo writes: British Airways is facing a record fine of 183m Pound ($230m) for last year's breach of its security systems. The Information Commissioner's Office said the incident took place after users of British Airways' website were diverted to a fraudulent site. Through this false site, details of around 500,000 customers were harvested by the attackers. The BA penalty amounts to 1.5% of its worldwide turnover in 2017, less than the possible maximum of 4%. The fine amounts to around 10% of BA's profits for that year.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
