Reports of data breaches increase dramatically since GDPR.
The number of
whistleblower reports to the information commissioner over data breaches
have jumped 175 per cent since GDPR came in, according to research.
People have become more vigilant about the handling
of personal data, and more likely to report potential breaches, since
the regulations were introduced in May 2018 according to law firm RPC.
Whistleblower reports in the year ending May 31 2018 numbered just 138,
compared to 379 the following year.
