4:11 pm
company with a hefty fine for we tend to date of his digit. william know of new cruft who has the latest so we know about this breach for some weeks now so what's new yeah right so facebook originally said that as many as fifty million users have been affected by this breach and as a precaution they remote logged out ninety million users i was one of them maybe you were to that number since been revised down to just thirty million users facebook says they're now notifying them and facebook also knows exactly what kind of data of hours of these thirty million people were breached which they released in a statement yesterday they detailed that fifteen million people had their name and contact details stolen another forty million had other personal information such as location and language places they've recently checked into in recent searches they made so facebook goes on to say in that statement that they are cooperating with u.s. and e.u. regulators or authorities or say i should say but at least on the e.u. side there are those regulators are going to be looking just as much into facebook
4:12 pm
as they are the breach itself and why is that well a little a little thing known as g.d.p. our general data protection regulation which you may remember was all the rage back in earlier this year when it seemed like anyone with a website in the world was scrambling to make sure that they were in compliance with these new strict rules that before they went into effect across the e.u. in may g.d.p. are basically lays out pretty strict rules for how a company like facebook is to handle a situation just like this when our personal data is breached and the fines for not doing so is pretty steep it's four percent of global annual global revenue which for facebook could be as much as one point six billion dollars if it's found to be in some way violating or not complying or neglectful of g p r g p r rules and ireland's data protection commission they're the ones with jurisdiction of facebook in the e.u. they put out a tweet yesterday a statement says that they think the new information is significant and will
4:13 pm
continue its investigation into the breach into facebook. facebook's compliance and its obligations under g.d.p. are so ireland's data protection is clearly looking into it and compliance basically means two things one that facebook notified data protection officials within seventy two hours of themselves learning about the breach and that facebook is somehow not negligent in protecting data protect data privacy of its users as laid out by g.d.p. are now the seventy two hour window facebook at least appears to be safe on that one it's a bit more complicated when it comes to the negligence side and that's what the irish data protection commission really wants to look into we're going to just wait and see what that investigation uncovers it could be a rather expensive result for facebook. thank you for unpacking that complex topic for. tennis now inova djokovic continues his final run this season by qualify for the final of the shanghai open the did it in style.
