23 Oct 2025 Aktia Pankki OyjAktia: 865,000 EUR – other people’s data visible in OmaKanta and OmaKela via bank login FinlandData breaches and data security €865,000

Following a technical change to the bank’s strong electronic identification service, a disruption lasting around one hour occurred in January 2023 during which customers logging in with Aktia credentials to services such as OmaKanta, OmaKela, unemployment funds, insurers and healthcare providers saw data of other persons; around 350 people were affected. The sanctions board of the Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman) criticised the deficient planning, implementation and testing of the change and imposed 865,000 EUR in addition to a reprimand.

What organisations can take from it

Changes to identification services have effects far beyond one’s own organisation – testing and release processes must reflect this.
