Identity Protection
The United Kingdom's Information Commissioner's Office received new authority to levy fines on organizations that "deliberately" or "recklessly" violate the U.K.'s "Data Protection Act", or DPA, of 1998. In a little noticed amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act of 2008, the 1998 DPA was updated to enable the Information Commissioner to impose serious fines on organizations.
