10 Jun 2026 Health Service Executive (HSE)DPC: €300,000 fine against HSE after ransomware attack on hospital laboratory in Tullamore IrelandData breaches and data security €300,000

In November 2018 attackers encrypted patient data in the laboratory information system of Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore. The DPC found that the HSE had infringed Art. 5(1)(f), 28, 30, 32(1) and 34 GDPR (including insufficient security, deficient processor contracts and record of processing, and incomplete notification of affected persons), issued a reprimand, imposed €300,000 for the security failings (Art. 5(1)(f) and 32(1)) and ordered it to introduce specified policies and procedures for secure processing.

What organisations can take from it

Laboratory and other specialist hospital systems also belong in security and supplier management; contracts with processors must contain the GDPR safeguards.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
