14 Apr 2025 DPP Law LtdICO: £60,000 against law firm DPP Law over hack and late notification United KingdomData breaches and data security €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.

What organisations can take from it

Even small law firms need MFA on admin accounts and a reporting process that meets the 72-hour deadline.
