Announced ICO intention to appeal court ruling adjusting fine imposed against DSG Retail
On 4 November 2024, the UK Information Commissioner (ICO) announced the intention to appeal the Upper Tribunal's decision regarding DSG Retail Limited (DSG) to the Court of Appeal. This follows the Tribunal's ruling from July 2022 that adjusted the fine related to a cyber attack impacting at least 14 million people's personal data. The appeal seeks clarification on the duty of organisations to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing by third parties.
