Hello Ibrahim
Thanks for sending this on I missed the news this morning.
If they knew back in July last year I wonder why they have delayed until after the introduction of GDPR and much heavier potential fines to come clean? The argument seems to be that the breach happened before GDPR so they'll 'get away with it' - I understood that the new fine structure could (although not necessarily would) relate to past undiscovered horrors. Do you think this will be a case where the ICO will set a benchmark for new fine levels, either by imposing a GDPR level fine or by reference to a level should GDPR have been in force?
Cheers
