Re: Hypothetical question!

In their investigations you would expect they need to validate the content of any leak, so it is possible they have a copy of the leaked data.

If they were subsequently hacked and lost that data again, would they be subject to the same level of fine as they levy on the original leak?

They would presumably need to investigate themselves, who watches the Watchers?

Hypothetical answer?
