Nov 16 (Reuters) - Turkey's Personal Data Protection

Board (KVKK) has fined Amazon.com's ( AMZN ) gaming platform

Twitch 2 million lira ($58,000) over a data breach, the official

Anadolu Agency reported on Saturday.

KVKK launched an investigation after a 125 GB data leak. It

found that Twitch had failed to take adequate security measures

beforehand, addressing the issue only afterward. It also said

risk and threat assessments had been insufficient.

The breach affected 35,274 individuals in Turkey. KVKK

imposed a 1.75 million lira fine for inadequate security and

250,000 lira for failing to report the breach.

Twitch was not immediately available for comment.

($1 = 34.4185 lira)
