The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office has dropped its investigation into ISP BT after it sent unencrypted customer details to anti-piracy lawyers ACS:Law.
As has been widely reported, those details along with thousands of others from ISPs including Sky, TalkTalk and BT Plusnet, leaked online after ACS:Law made a mess of bringing their site back online after a DDoS attack.
The decision by the ICO has provoked fury among privacy advocates.
