Currently, these operators face a maximum fine of \u00a32m (enforced by Ofcom itself) for failing to adequately secure their networks (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/__data\/assets\/pdf_file\/0021\/51474\/ofcom-guidance.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a>). The new situation opens telcos up to civil litigation.<\/p>\n<p>Clause 8 of the bill [<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/bills\/cbill\/58-01\/0216\/200216.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a>] would allow anyone who suffered &#8220;loss or damage&#8221; as a result of a security breach by a &#8220;provider of a public electronic communications network&#8221; to sue that operator. The legal language means the barrier to starting a lawsuit here is noticeably low.<\/p>\n<p>With mobile network operators having millions of consumers on their books, it&#8217;s not hard to imagine an ambulance-chasing law firm <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/10\/29\/facebook_you_owe_us_high_court_campaign\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cooking up a Safari Workaround-style sueball<\/a> to start pursuing telcos for billions of pounds in damages \u2013 and then there&#8217;s the wrath of biz customers.<\/p>\n<p>The liability itself stretches &#8220;not just [to] your customers (in respect of whom you may be able to limit your liability contractually for the impact of a breach, since that is not excluded by the current draft),&#8221; blogged tech lawyer Neil Brown of decoded:legal, who spoke to <i>The Register<\/i> for this article. &#8220;Every.
