The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) gave a clear message this week: It is serious about penalising companies that aren’t properly protecting consumer data.

On Monday, the ICO announced its intention to fine British Airways £183.39 million ($230 million). The proposed fine was the result of the British data privacy agency’s investigation of Britain Airways’ 2018 data breach, which left roughly 500,000 customers’ financial and personal information compromised.
