26 May 2026 Mediaworks Hungary Zrt.Mediaworks Hungary: 50 million HUF for links to leaked map of party supporters €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.
Linking to leaked data is itself a separate processing operation – editorial teams need a data protection review before publication.
