5 Jun 2026 Illuminate Education Inc.FTC: final order against education software provider Illuminate after data leak affecting 10.1 million students Order
According to the complaint by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Illuminate promised schools data security but did not adequately protect its cloud databases, even though a service provider had pointed out vulnerabilities almost two years earlier; a hacker accessed data on 10.1 million students, including health information. The order requires an information security programme, data minimisation and a public deletion schedule, and prohibits misrepresentations about security and notification deadlines.
Do not leave known vulnerabilities unaddressed for years – security promises to customers are measured as binding commitments.

31 Oct 2025 Google LLCTexas: Google pays $1.375 billion over location, incognito and biometric data €1.19bn
Texas, represented by the Office of the Attorney General, had sued Google for unlawfully collecting location data, activity in incognito mode and biometric identifiers. Google signed a settlement of $1.375 billion, concluding two sets of proceedings.
Settings such as location history or incognito mode must deliver what they promise users – otherwise billion-dollar risks loom, even at the level of individual US states.
