Marriott International fined £18.4m for 2014 data breach
The UK data regulator has issued Marriott International with a watered-down £18.4 million fine for a data breach that affected 339 million guest records worldwide.
The sum has been significantly reduced from the initial £99 million notice of intent to fine that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) first issued the hotel chain in July 2019. The decision to issue a substantially lower fine once again raises questions as to the effectiveness of GDPR enforcement.
