Facebook has been fined £500,000 ($644,600) in the U.K. after the country's privacy watchdog said it had carried out "serious breaches of data protection."

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said Thursday that the personal information of at least 1 million U.K. users had been harvested by Facebook and subsequently put at risk.
