GDPR doesn't fine companies for having their security breached.

British Airways were fined under GDPR. > Almost certainly necessary since if they weren't "addicted to ad placement and tracking" as GP put it they wouldn't have to stop and thing about GDPR. How very eurocentric.
- Kbelicius 5y agoThey weren't fined for having their security breached. They were fined for not having adequate security measures in place. Again, under GDPR you can't get fined for simply having your security breached as you claimed earlier.
