Swedish DPA IMY fines Avanza Bank AB 15 million SEK (around 1.3m€) for using Meta Pixel on its website without implementing proper technical and organizational measures, leading to unauthorized transfer of personal data, including personal IDs and financial information, to Meta (Facebook). IMY received a breach notification from Avanza Bank AB in 2021. The notification showed that personal data of 500k – 1 million data subjects was erroneously transferred to Facebook (now Meta). Among the data transferred were social security numbers, loan amounts and account number. From the investigation of the case IMY found that personal data of bank's customers and website visitors were transferred to Meta. The personal data transferred has included, among other things social security numbers and extensive financial information. The information, including detailed information about customers' finances, has in several cases been transmitted in plain text. IMY notes that the data subjects have legitimate expectations of a high degree of confidentiality and a robust protection against unauthorized access. The data transferred has been covered by statutory duty of confidentiality. The processing of personal data has taken place within the framework of the bank's core business, which entails even higher requirements for the level of protection. Link in the comments!

NOYB is asking the Austrian DPA to order Google to bring its processing operations into compliance with the GDPR, to stop the processing of data collected on the basis of invalid consent, and to inform the data recipients that they must stop processing this data. After years of growing criticism over invasive ad tracking, Google announced in September 2023 that it would phase out third-party cookies from its Chrome browser . Since then, users have been gradually tricked into enabling a supposed “ad privacy feature” that actually tracks people. While the so-called “Privacy Sandbox” is advertised as an improvement over extremely invasive third-party tracking, the tracking is now simply done within the browser by Google itself.

The Chinese state has hacked the Ministry of Defence, Sky News understands. MPs will be told on Tuesday of a massive data breach involving the Ministry of Defence, targeting service personnel. The government will not name the country involved, but Sky News understands this to be China. The Chinese state is to be accused of two or three attempts at hacking MoD employees - including personnel. The cyberattack was on a payroll system with current service personnel and some veterans. It is largely names and bank details that have been exposed. Tobias Ellwood, a Conservative MP and former soldier, told Sky News that China "was probably looking at the financially vulnerable with a view that they may be coerced in exchange for cash".
