More than a majority of United Kingdom employees recently surveyed admitted to violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shortly after it went into effect in May 2018 by forwarding a customer email to their personal accounts.

British technology services provider Probrand said it surveyed 1,002 full- or part-time U.K. employees, 64 percent of whom fessed up to committing the breach in the four months following introduction of GDPR.
