22 Sep 2026 Miljödata i Karlskrona AktiebolagIMY: 1.8 million SEK against HR software provider Miljödata after data leak €160,053
The provider of web-based systems for sickness reporting, rehabilitation and occupational safety incidents was hacked in August 2025; the stolen personal data appeared on the dark web shortly afterwards. The Swedish data protection authority (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) found that, despite the high need for protection, there were no adequate security measures and no automatic real-time monitoring for attacks, assessed this as negligent and imposed 1,800,000 SEK.
Service providers hosting the health and personnel data of many employers need real-time attack detection, not just perimeter protection.

17 Jul 2026 Orange România SAOrange România pays 100,000 EUR after app errors and hacked ticketing system €99,969
A synchronisation error between two applications allowed a customer to retrieve other customers’ invoices in the mobile app; in addition, the ticketing platform, which was publicly accessible without VPN, MFA or IP restriction, was attacked and a very large data set (including copies of identity documents, card data, IBANs) was exfiltrated. The Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP) imposed fines of 104,780 lei (20,000 EUR, Art. 25) and 419,120 lei (80,000 EUR, Art. 32), a total of 523,900 lei, and ordered test and change management. Date = publication of the press release; according to the authority, the investigation was concluded in the previous month.
Never expose internal platforms to the internet without VPN/MFA; software changes to linked systems need testing before go-live.

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.

14 May 2026 Wind Tre S.p.A.Garante: 1.7 million EUR against Wind Tre after data exfiltration via deceived shop staff €1.72m
Attackers posed as technical support, induced staff at points of sale to grant system access and obtained data on more than 365,000 customers, including payment data for 41,359 of them. The Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) criticised deficient management of access credentials and digital certificates as well as inadequate security assessments, and imposed 1,715,600 EUR.
Staff in branches and partner shops must verify alleged support calls before granting access.

26 Jan 2026 Sportadmin i Skandinavien ABSportadmin: 6 million SEK after hacker attack on club management system holding children’s data €564,626
The provider of management software and an app for sports clubs suffered a data exfiltration by an external attacker in January 2025. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) found that no appropriate technical and organisational security measures were in place before and at the time of the incident, even though the data processed related predominantly to children and also included health information (allergies, disabilities), and imposed 6 million SEK; in setting the amount it took into account the 2024 group turnover of the Lime group (around 685.7 million SEK).
Software providers that pool sensitive data from many customers must align their security level and attack surfaces with how sensitive the data is (children, health) – not only after an incident.

8 Jan 2026 Free Mobile SAS und Free SASCNIL: 42 million EUR against Free Mobile and Free after data leak affecting 24 million contracts €42m
Following an attack in October 2024 in which data relating to around 24 million customer contracts, including IBANs, was exfiltrated, the French data protection authority (CNIL) imposed 27 million EUR on Free Mobile and 15 million EUR on Free (42 million EUR in total). The authority objected to VPN access without adequate authentication, deficient detection of suspicious access, incomplete notification of data subjects and, at Free Mobile, excessively long retention of old contracts; orders with deadlines were also issued.
Put remote access such as VPN behind multi-factor authentication, and consistently delete legacy data from terminated contracts.

20 Nov 2025 LastPass UK LtdICO: £1.2 million against LastPass UK after breach of backup database €1.39m
In 2022, an attacker first compromised an employee's company laptop and then the personal laptop of a senior employee, whose master password he captured using a keylogger. Because the personal and business password vaults were linked via the same master password, he obtained the access and decryption keys stored there and stole data on up to 1.6 million UK users from the backup database.
Never keep critical keys on employees' personal devices or in their personal accounts – access must be technically separated and restricted.

Unknown persons accessed the system operator’s databases via several websites and obtained personal data. The Datu valsts inspekcija (Latvian Data State Inspectorate, DVI) initially imposed 400,000 EUR; in the objection procedure, the director set aside the allegation relating to the company’s role as controller because ZZ Dats was a processor, and set the fine at 300,000 EUR for insufficient security measures under Art. 32 GDPR. The company has brought an action.
Processors are also independently liable for the security of the systems they operate.

A customer's mobile number was ported to MásMóvil without the customer having requested it; the new SIM card was handed over to a third party who did not identify themselves. The Spanish data protection authority (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD) found processing without a legal basis, imposed 200,000 EUR and ordered measures against such incidents; the company's request for reconsideration was unsuccessful.
Issue SIM cards and carry out porting only after robust identity verification – couriers and sales partners must comply with this too.

20 Jan 2025 Vodafone Romania S.A.Vodafone Romania pays 15,000 EUR for repeated data breaches caused by employees €14,974
Several reported incidents were attributable to employees or service providers: a photo of an invoice sent to third parties, open e-mail distribution lists instead of BCC, a screenshot from the customer application shared via WhatsApp and misdirected invoices. The Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP) found insufficient measures to ensure that employees processed data in accordance with instructions and imposed 74,526 lei (15,000 EUR); the company paid. Date = publication of the press release; according to the authority, the investigation was concluded in the previous month.
Many small employee errors add up to an organisational failure – awareness training is mandatory, not optional.
