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.
