15 Oct 2025 Capita plc und Capita Pension Solutions LimitedICO: £14 million against Capita after ransomware attack affecting 6.6 million people €16.1m
In March 2023, an employee unintentionally downloaded malicious files; although an alert was triggered after ten minutes, the device was only isolated after 58 hours. Attackers stole around one terabyte of data on 6.6 million people (including pension data and criminal record information). Fines imposed by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): £8 million against Capita plc and £6 million against Capita Pension Solutions.
Security alerts need binding response times and an adequately staffed SOC – known vulnerabilities must be remedied across the group.

14 Apr 2025 DPP Law LtdICO: £60,000 against law firm DPP Law over hack and late notification €69,458
In 2022, attackers used brute force to penetrate the law firm's network via a rarely used administrator account without MFA and stole 32 GB of highly sensitive data, which appeared on the dark web. The firm only learned of this from the National Crime Agency and reported the incident to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) only 43 days later.
Even small law firms need MFA on admin accounts and a reporting process that meets the 72-hour deadline.
