On Friday March 31 , Capita , a leading provider of business process services , experienced a cyber incident primarily impacting access to internal applications . This caused disruption to some services provided to individual clients , though the majority of its client services remained in operation .
A statement on the company ’ s website reads : ‘ Our IT security monitoring capabilities swiftly alerted us to the incident and we quickly invoked our established and practised technical crisis management protocols . Immediate steps were taken to successfully isolate and contain the issue . The issue was limited to parts of the Capita network and there is no evidence of customer , supplier or colleague data having been compromised .’
The Information Commissioner ’ s Office ( ICO ) has issued a £ 12,700,000 fine to TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited and TikTok Inc ( TikTok ) for a number of breaches of data protection law , including failing to use children ’ s personal data lawfully .
The ICO estimates that TikTok allowed up to 1.4 million UK children under 13 to use its platform in 2020 , despite its own rules not allowing children that age to create an account . UK data protection law says that organisations that use personal data when offering information society services to children under 13 must have consent from their parents or carers . TikTok failed to do that . www . intelligentciso . com
