10 Dec 2024 Versicherer, Spanien (anonymisiert)AEPD: EUR 4m fine for an insurer after access via a broker account SpainData breaches and data security €4m

Following several complaints about a data breach, the Spanish data protection authority AEPD found that an attacker using an insurance broker's credentials was able to access extensive data held by an insurer, including on former customers, because basic security measures, separation of datasets and an impact assessment were lacking. Fines of 1,000,000 EUR (Art. 5(1)(f)), 1,000,000 EUR (Art. 32), 2,000,000 EUR (Art. 25) and 1,000,000 EUR (Art. 35) were set, 5,000,000 EUR in total; after voluntary payment without admission of liability, 4,000,000 EUR became payable.
