Back in July 2019, the ICO notified the British Airways that it would impose a fine of £183,39M for having infringed on several GDPR regulations, including a breach of Art. 32 GDPR. This fine was related to an incident notified in September 2018 by British Airways, involving the user traffic on the official website of the British Airways being diverted to a fraudulent website. This fraudulent website would harvest the customer details of all clients taken there. The personal data of more than 500,000 customers was harvested during the incident. During the ICO’s investigation, it was found that British Airways was mainly to blame for much of the compromised information, due to inadequate security measures, such as log-in, payment card, and travel booking details. The ICO eventually decided to lower the fine to £20 million (about EUR 22,046,000), taking into consideration the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline industry.
