Information about more than a thousand staff and members of the European Parliament has been exposed in what a key lawmaker called a 'major data breach'
However, he added, that database was outdated and only contained information"used by the people who [were] subscribed to our old website back in 2018." That website is no longer in use after the group launched a new website in January 2019, López de Pablo said.
The unprotected data also includes information of thousands of people with links to political parties and institutions, including members of EU agencies and authorities like law enforcement agency Europol, the European Data Protection Supervisor, border agency Frontex and others, Kadakia said. Kadakia flagged the issue to the Parliament’s Computer Emergency Response Team on Friday. His company found the data when scanning the internet for unprotected and leaked datasets, which it does as part of its cybersecurity services. “We end up picking up data that is lost to other people sometimes,” Kadakia said.
