Hackney Council Ransomware Ruckus: ICO Rebukes but Refrains from Fines
Hackney Council’s cyber oopsie-daisy has the ICO wagging their finger, but the Borough’s all “you’ve got it twisted!” Data drama unfolds as millions in damages loom, but Hackney’s not ponying up the dough to argue. Talk about a patchy situation! #HackneyRansomwareRuckus
Hot Take:
Once upon a cyber-nightmare, the Hackney Council found itself playing lead in a 'Hack-neyed' ransomware drama. The UK's ICO played the tough-love parent with a stern wag of the finger, but Hackney's response was the bureaucratic equivalent of "Nuh-uh, you got it all wrong!" They've decided to take their ball and move on, presumably after updating that "password123" sticky note.Already a member? Log in here
