A Europe-wide survey revealed a record year, with total fines issued from January 28, 2023, to date amounting to €1.78 billion, a 14% increase over the previous year.
In terms of fines, Italy ranks fourth in Europe after Ireland, Luxembourg, and France. This unenviable ranking should prompt profound reflection on personal data security, especially on the occasion of European Data Protection Day, celebrated annually on January 28.
