●● Data Breach in GLA (Greater London Authority, London Municipality) Not Reported, Formality and Forms Insufficient If Rules Not Followed

Posted in Deception, Europe, Security at 12:24 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: One last note on the issue of Greater London Authority (London Municipality); even though forms exist to report security breaches or incidents of data breaches, Greater London Authority never seems to have bothered with this; the culmination of this in the media (a scandal which puts at risk victims of sex crimes) overlooks a history of repeat/recurring incidents

As far as I’m aware, this was never reported (to those impacted) except internally.

GLA staff (it wasn’t the first such issue, nor the last):

So what good are such forms?

Not reported for months after the issue started:
