A school employee gained access to her school’s official e-mail account and sent forged documents on the basis of which the credit association concluded 17 loans in 2023/2024 without the knowledge of the data subjects. The Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP) criticised the insufficient identity verification for remote applications and imposed 15,141.6 lei (3,000 EUR). Date = publication of the press release; according to the authority, the investigation was concluded in June 2025.

What organisations can take from it

Remote contracting requires robust identity verification – an e-mail from an ‘official’ address is no proof.
