After the data breach at the Red Cross, lawyers are now looking into the incident. The independent data protection authority is investigating the lost vaccination and private data of thousands of Salzburgers.
The massive data loss at the Red Cross will likely keep lawyers busy for a while. The data protection authority is now investigating the matter. It is known that 147,000 documents with private information about vaccinated people can no longer be found. The Red Cross apparently lost a hard drive.
The data protection authority in Vienna is investigating how the incident occurred and what measures should be taken. People affected by the loss should be notified. And: “If in the course of the investigation it appears that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has probably been violated, a follow-up procedure is possible,” says Matthias Schmidl of the authority. In the worst case, there is a risk that fines will run into millions.
