Data breaches

The record fine comes after around 37.5 million users had their private data exposed.

Horizon Academy Trust says an investigation is under way to establish how the data breach happened.

The force apologises for the incident and says changes have been made to stop it happening again.

Almost £40 million pounds has been paid out to more than 5000 police officers and civilian staff impacted by a 2023 data breach.

The government said medical data of 500,000 people was affected but no personally identifiable information had been made available.

The platform's plan to roll out global age checks has caused concern in streaming communities.

Data protection leaders say they processed 61 self-reported breaches in the fourth quarter of 2025.
