Twitter fined $547,000 in Ireland over breach that made tweets public
Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has fined Twitter €450,000 (about $547,000) for failing to notify a data breach that made some private tweets public. This marks the DPC's first cross-border sanction against an American company under Europe's General Data Protection Regulation. Twitter said the delay in notifying DPC was an "unanticipated consequence of staffing" during the holidays.
