Using a customer’s identity card, an unknown person registered at least 15 prepaid numbers in her name at a Vodafone partner shop. By Decision 27/2025, the Αρχή Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα (Hellenic Data Protection Authority) imposed on Vodafone 350,000 EUR (processing by a processor, Art. 28), 200,000 EUR (accuracy of data) and 150,000 EUR under the Greek ePrivacy law, and issued a reprimand requiring the company to secure the activation of new numbers technically within three months (for example by sending an SMS to the existing customer); the shop (Karampelas K. & Sia E.E., ‘DS Phone’) received 40,000 EUR.
