14 Oct 2025 Infinity Insurance CompanyInfinity Insurance: 2.25 million USD – data leak via quoting tool reported too late USA, NYIncident reporting obligations €1.95m

Attackers extracted driver’s licence numbers in plain text via the motor insurer’s instant quote applications. Infinity discovered the anomalies on 9 February 2021 but only reported the cybersecurity event to the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) on 14 April 2021; the supervisor also criticised the lack of MFA and insecure development practices.

What organisations can take from it

Misuse of publicly accessible customer applications is also a reportable incident – warnings from the supervisor should trigger an immediate reporting assessment.

14 Aug 2025 Healthplex, Inc.Healthplex: 2 million USD – phishing incident not reported to supervisor for months USA, NYIncident reporting obligations €1.71m

An employee of the dental insurance service provider disclosed his login credentials via a phishing e-mail; the mailbox containing over 100,000 e-mails with health and social security data was accessible. Healthplex had known about the incident since November 2021 but only reported it to the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in April 2022 instead of within 72 hours; in addition, there was no MFA for web access and no data retention and deletion policy.

What organisations can take from it

Security incidents require a fixed reporting process with deadline control – the 72-hour clock starts when the incident is identified, not when forensics is completed.

10 Jul 2025 Poste Vita S.p.A.Poste Vita: 80,000 EUR – data breach notified only four months after customer’s alert ItalyIncident reporting obligations €80,000

A fraudster impersonated a customer by e-mail and, between 2021 and 2023, obtained information and documents on three policies from the life insurer’s case handlers without his identity being verified. Although the customer alerted the company to the false e-mail address in September 2024, Poste Vita only notified the breach to the supervisory authority in January 2025.

What organisations can take from it

Customer alerts about possible data leaks must go into the incident assessment immediately – not only after internal checks are completed.

22 May 2024 Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) und neun Tochtergesellschaften, u. a. New York Stock Exchange LLCIntercontinental Exchange/NYSE: 10 million USD – cyber attack not reported to the SEC USAIncident reporting obligations €9.23m

In April 2021, a third party alerted ICE to a vulnerability in its VPN; ICE found malicious code that had been inserted but did not inform the legal and compliance officers of its exchange and clearing subsidiaries for days. As a result, the subsidiaries, including the New York Stock Exchange, did not immediately report the incident to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as required under Regulation SCI; ICE paid 10 million USD.

What organisations can take from it

Operators of critical market infrastructure need internal reporting channels that pass cyber incidents on to all entities subject to reporting obligations within hours.

12 Mar 2024 Santander Bank Polska S.A.Santander Bank Polska: 1.44 million PLN – stolen customer documents not reported PolandIncident reporting obligations €336,066

A courier consignment containing bank documents (including PESEL numbers, account numbers, login credentials) was stolen and discarded on a housing estate; the supervisory authority learned of it from the media. The bank had informed neither the authority nor the data subjects because it rated the risk as low – it had already been sanctioned in 2022 for failing to notify data subjects.

What organisations can take from it

Assess the risk of a data breach from the data subjects’ perspective – failing to notify the loss of sensitive documents risks a higher penalty than the breach itself.

12 Mar 2024 Toyota Bank Polska S.A.Toyota Bank Polska: 78,575 PLN – misdirected mailing reported only after 1.5 years PolandIncident reporting obligations €18,331

The bank sent a customer’s contract data to the wrong recipient and only reported the breach one and a half years later, when the supervisory authority made enquiries following a complaint. Given the risk of identity theft, the authority considered that there had been an obligation to notify within 72 hours.

What organisations can take from it

Even a single misdirected mailing containing identity data is notifiable – misdirected mail cases need a documented risk assessment.

18 Oct 2023 Link4 Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń S.A.Link4: 103,752 PLN – misdirected e-mail not reported after using a risk calculator PolandIncident reporting obligations €23,362

The insurer sent a claims settlement confirmation containing name, address, vehicle and claim data by e-mail to an unauthorised person. After an assessment using an online calculator, it rated the risk as low and did not notify; the supervisory authority found that the notification obligation had been breached and treated, among other things, intent and lack of cooperation as aggravating factors.

What organisations can take from it

Risk assessment tools do not replace judgement – anyone sending out information covered by insurance secrecy should notify if in doubt.
