UK data watchdog still waiting for warrant to raid Cambridge Analytica
The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commission's Office (ICO), has still not obtained a warrant to enter and search the servers of the London-based political consultancy, Cambridge Analytica -- the company at the center of the data misuse scandal engulfing Facebook -- three days on from beginning the process.
The earliest a warrant could now be obtained by the regulator is Friday.
In a statement today the ICO said: “A High Court judge has adjourned the ICO’s application for a warrant relating to Cambridge Analytica until Friday. The ICO will be in court to continue to pursue the warrant to obtain access to data and information to take forward our investigation.”
The information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, made it public on Tuesday that she was seeking a warrant to search CA's servers after the company missed a Monday deadline to hand over information her office had requested.
