Nearly 60,000 Data Breaches Reported Since the Launch of GDPR

A new report by DLA Piper, a multinational law firm, revealed statistics for the number of breaches notified to regulators and the first fines issued under the GDPR rules for the period 25 May 2018 to 28 January 2019 (the International Data Protection Day). The total number of reported personal data breaches is 59,000 and the imposed fines – 91. Sam Millar, a partner at DLA Piper specialising in cyber and large-scale investigations, commented the report:

“The regulators have already started to flex their muscles with 91 GDPR fines imposed to date, but the fine against Google is a landmark moment and notable partly because it’s not related to personal data breach.
