28 Nov 2025 Sprinter Megacentros del Deporte, S.L.AEPD: €1.56m fine for sporting goods retailer Sprinter after data breach SpainData breaches and data security €1.56m

Following a cyber attack involving unauthorised access to data, which according to the decision may have affected up to around 6.38 million people (including around 4.67 million customers in Spain as well as employees and former employees), the AEPD as lead authority found inadequate security measures (Art. 5(1)(f) GDPR). The sanction of 2,600,000 EUR was reduced by 40% to 1,560,000 EUR because liability was acknowledged and payment made voluntarily; remedial measures were also ordered.

What organisations can take from it

Large holdings of customer and employee data need protective measures commensurate with their volume and sensitivity.
