Dear All,
I saw this and I thought it would be of interest and use.
UK regulator receives record number of breach notifications
The ICO has published its Annual Report, showing some of the early effects of the GDPR. The number of self-reported data breaches increased by 29% from 2,447 last year to 3,156 this year. In June, the ICO received 1,700 notifications which was a sharp increase compared with previous levels (around 360-390 breach notifications per month). Last year also saw the regulator issue the largest number and amount of civil monetary penalties in the Office's history. This included 26 penalties totalling £3.28 million for breaches of electronic marketing laws relating to nuisance calls and spam text messages, eleven fines totalling £1.29 million for serious security failures under the Data Protection Act 1998, 11 fines to charities totalling £138,000 for unlawfully processing personal data and an £80,000 fine issued to a data broking organisation.

I think this is set to increase given that they had, according to their data breach webinar, 1792 breaches reported in June.
Best,
Lawrence
