British Airways has been slapped with a record-breaking $26 million fine over a 2018 data breach, but it would have been much higher if not for the pandemic

The UK Information Commissioner's Office handed British Airways a fine of £20 million on Friday over a security breach in 2018 which exposed the data of 400,000 customers.

The Information Commissioner's Office said its investigators found BA should have identified weaknesses in its security and resolved them with measures available at the time, which would have prevented the data breach. On Monday, IAG announced it was replacing BA's chief executive Alex Cruz with Aer Lingus boss Sean Doyle with immediate effect.

"This was considered to be a severe failing because of the number of people affected and because any potential financial harm could have been more significant," it said.
