Oof. With my legal background, this one hits close to home! 😬

The ICO fined a law firm after data breach and subsequent leak to dark web. Identities of protected victims and witnesses were exposed. All attackers gained access to an old, supposedly archived case management system. (Why was this online?)

Given the size of the fine (£60k), I would guess this was not a large law firm. Some of the affected individuals may sue, so that's probably not the end of the matter.

The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has added insult to the human cost of the Horizon scandal.

“As reprimands lack the force of law, the Post Office can rest assured that they will not face consequences if they fail to address their shortcomings."

Fail, fail and fail again...

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims.

The ICO's failure to enforce data protection law adds insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office's litany of failures to enforce data protection law cannot go on.

That's why ORG brought together over 70 organisations and experts to back our call for an inquiry into this submissive watchdog.

MPs must step up to keep our data safe and secure!

“This reprimand is a go ahead for public organisations in the UK to keep inflicting harm, knowing that the ICO will leave them off the hook.

The ICO should have, at the bare minimum, issued an enforcement notice that legally binds the Post Office to take action.”

How did the ICO treat the most serious data breach in UK history? They did nothing.

The failure to investigate the Ministry of Defence for leaking data on over 19,000 Afghans is the final straw for this weak regulator.

ORG has led the call for an inquiry ⬇️

"A data regulator that fails to deter bad practices is not worth having."

Rules only work if they're actually enforced.

With the Information Commissioner's Office (UK), we've seen a collapse in the use of corrective powers when data protection laws are broken.

We need an inquiry into this failing watchdog.

Calls grow for inquiry into UK data watchdog after MoD leak - www.theregister.com/2025/11/25/ico_inquiry_afghan_mod/ now nearly as useless as

A slap on the wrist isn't a deterrent.

The failure to investigate even the most serious data breach in UK history is the final straw.

We need a strong data regulator that will take action against the government and private sector at a time of escalating threats.

We need an inquiry into the Information Commissioner's Office if we're to have data protection laws with teeth and resilience against cyber attacks.

For the last 3-4 years, the ICO has shifted away from using enforcement powers against public sector organisations except as a last resort.

Since then, the ICO's own review of this public sector approach showed “the average number of reported breaches increased by 11%” and an 8% increase in data protection complaints.

By removing the deterrence of regulatory sanctions, this approach has worsen the status quo.

No bark. No bite.

The Information Commissioner's Office (UK) has shied away from enforcing data protection laws one too many times.

Yesterday over 70 groups and experts joined ORG's demand for an inquiry into the regulator.

Evidence shows that when enforcement goes down, breaches go up. We say enough.

The ICO refused to investigate the UK Ministry of Defence for the most serious data breach in UK history – the leaking of data on 19,000 Afghans fleeing the Taliban.

They said it was a one-off.

But what about the 49 data breaches at the MoD over the last 4 years?

The final straw – the Information Commissioner's Office has decided NOT to investigate the Afghan data leak.

It's time to investigate them!

Over 70 organisations and experts back ORG's call for an inquiry into the regulator's chronic failure to enforce UK data laws.
