17 Jul 2026 Orange România SAOrange România pays 100,000 EUR after app errors and hacked ticketing system €99,969
A synchronisation error between two applications allowed a customer to retrieve other customers’ invoices in the mobile app; in addition, the ticketing platform, which was publicly accessible without VPN, MFA or IP restriction, was attacked and a very large data set (including copies of identity documents, card data, IBANs) was exfiltrated. The Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP) imposed fines of 104,780 lei (20,000 EUR, Art. 25) and 419,120 lei (80,000 EUR, Art. 32), a total of 523,900 lei, and ordered test and change management. Date = publication of the press release; according to the authority, the investigation was concluded in the previous month.
Never expose internal platforms to the internet without VPN/MFA; software changes to linked systems need testing before go-live.

20 Jan 2025 Vodafone Romania S.A.Vodafone Romania pays 15,000 EUR for repeated data breaches caused by employees €14,974
Several reported incidents were attributable to employees or service providers: a photo of an invoice sent to third parties, open e-mail distribution lists instead of BCC, a screenshot from the customer application shared via WhatsApp and misdirected invoices. The Romanian data protection authority (ANSPDCP) found insufficient measures to ensure that employees processed data in accordance with instructions and imposed 74,526 lei (15,000 EUR); the company paid. Date = publication of the press release; according to the authority, the investigation was concluded in the previous month.
Many small employee errors add up to an organisational failure – awareness training is mandatory, not optional.
