The case pertains to a breach during the 2018 holiday period that left users private tweets exposed, an incident for which Twitter told Business Insider it takes responsibility.

Twitter s tiny $547K GDPR fine leaves many scratching their heads

By Neil Hodge2020-12-15T20:19:00+00:00 Following a nearly two-year investigation and decision-making process, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) on Tuesday fined Twitter €450,000 (U.S. $547,000) for breaching Europe’s strict privacy rules for failing to report a data breach within the required 72 hours and document it properly. The Irish DPC said the fine under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an “effective, proportionate and dissuasive measure.” Others are underwhelmed, as the penalty is equivalent to the social media firm’s earnings made in 90 minutes. The Irish DPC began its investigation in January 2019 after Twitter self-reported a data breach linked to its Android app late due to “an unanticipated consequence of staffing between Christmas Day 2018 and New Years’ Day.” The breach affected at least 89,000 people.

Twitter Fined for Breaking EU Privacy Law in First for U S Tech Firm

Updated Dec. 15, 2020 8:04 am ET Two-and-a-half-years after going into effect, the European Union’s new privacy law has its first fine for a U.S. tech company in a cross-border case an overdue development, critics say. Ireland’s Data Protection Commission said on Tuesday that it is fining Twitter Inc. €450,000, equivalent to about $546,000, for failing to document or properly notify the regulator within 72 hours of learning of a data breach disclosed in January 2019 that exposed some users’ private tweets. “We take responsibility for this mistake and remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and data of our customers,” said Damien Kieran, Twitter’s chief privacy officer, adding that the delay in notification was an “unanticipated consequence of staffing between Christmas Day 2018 and New Years’ Day.”

Twitter fined by Irish data regulator over GDPR breach

The ruling relates to an incident publicly disclosed in early 2019 where a security glitch had made some users’ private tweets public, and Twitter failed to send a breach notification to the DPC within 72 hours of its discovery of such an event, as is required under GDPR. The regulator said the penalty was an “effective, proportionate and dissuasive measure”. Responding to the fine, Twitter said it respected the DPC’s decision and had made changes in response to the incident. “Twitter worked closely with the Irish Data Protection Commission (@DPCIreland) to support their investigation. We have a shared commitment to online security and privacy, and we respect their decision, which relates to a failure in our incident response process,” Twitter said in a statement posted to the platform.
