What happened
The DPA found that a hospital, victim of a data breach, lacked sufficient measures to protect the patients data pre breach and that its reaction to the breach - assigning a shared password and failing to inform 202,246 affected third parties of the breach - was in violation of Articles 32 and 34 GDPR. The DPA fined the hospital €500,000.
