Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Board (KVKK) has fined Amazon.com’s gaming platform Twitch 2 million lira ($58,000) over a data breach, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported on Saturday.
The breach involved the leak of 125 GB of data, affecting 35,274 individuals in Turkey.
The KVKK determined that Twitch failed to implement adequate security measures and did not conduct sufficient risk and threat assessments before the incident, addressing the vulnerabilities only after the breach occurred.
The total fine includes 1.75 million lira for inadequate security measures and 250,000 lira for failing to report the breach in a timely manner.
Twitch has not yet issued a statement on the matter.
At the time of reporting, $1 equaled 34.4185 lira.
