Data privacy advocates file complaints against EU Parliament, IT Security News, ET CISO

Data privacy advocates file complaints against EU Parliament, IT Security News, ET CISO

Austrian advocacy group NOYB has filed two complaints with the EU privacy watchdog against the European Parliament, accusing it of inadequately protecting employees’ personal data, the group said on Thursday.

The group led by privacy activist Max Schrems said it was filing the complaints on behalf of four employees in response to a data breach in the parliament’s recruiting platform that affected data including passports, criminal records and marriage certificates of more than 8,000 staff.

NOYB, which stands for None Of Your Business, said it was worrying that the parliament, which informed staff of the breach in May, had found out about it months later and still apparently does not know the cause.

“This breach comes after repeated cybersecurity incidents in EU institutions over the past year,” said NOYB data protection lawyer Lorea Mendiguren.

“The Parliament has an obligation to ensure proper security measures, given that its employees are likely targets for bad actors.”

The European Parliament was initially unavailable for comment.

NOYB argues that the parliament is not complying with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and that the watchdog, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), should enforce compliance, possibly including a fine.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
