26 May 2026 Mediaworks Hungary Zrt.Mediaworks Hungary: 50 million HUF for links to leaked map of party supporters HungaryData protection €140,706

On 7 November 2025, the publisher's news portals Origo and Magyar Nemzet linked to a map, created by unknown persons, containing the names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, geo-coordinates and political preferences of Tisza sympathisers; Ripost showed an image with the name of the map. The Hungarian data protection authority (Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság, NAIH) found intentional infringements of Art. 6 and 9 GDPR, prohibited further dissemination and imposed 50 million HUF.

What organisations can take from it

Linking to leaked data is itself a separate processing operation – editorial teams need a data protection review before publication.

20 Mar 2026 Gesundheitsdienstleister (in der Entscheidung anonymisiert)Hungarian GP practice: 500,000 HUF for 47 EESZT queries without legal basis HungaryData subject rights and transparency €1,274

A general practitioner who had no longer been treating the complainant since January 2023 accessed his health data (findings, prescriptions) on the national e-health platform EESZT a total of 47 times via his practice software until August 2024 and did not respond to an access request. The Hungarian data protection authority (Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság, NAIH) found infringements of Art. 5(2), 6(1), 9(2), 12(2) and 15(1) GDPR, ordered compliance with the access request and imposed 500,000 HUF.

What organisations can take from it

Every access to electronic health records is logged and must be linked to treatment – even if it is triggered by practice staff.
