Facebook hack set to be first major test of EU data rules
By EUobserver
Up to three million Europeans were affected by a September Facebook security breach in which users' personal information was stolen, the Irish Data Protection Commission said on Tuesday, CNBC reported. This security breach is expected to be the first major test of Europe's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) under which breaches must be reported to authorities within 72 hours - which Facebook failed to do.
