Meta fined $263 million for 2018 data breach.
The Irish Data Protection Commission announced the fine following an investigation into a data breach that affected 29 million Facebook users. The incident stemmed from an exploit of Facebook’s video upload feature, allowing hackers to obtain users’ names, email addresses, phone numbers, and more.
Meta, which has already faced several fines from the DPC, plans to appeal the decision, according to the Associated Press.
