Berlin said no to hackers and several terabytes of data were exposed on the Internet

Berlin is experiencing moments of great tension in the computer security sector. The German public administration was the target of a large-scale cyber attack that compromised the privacy of services and citizens. The attack called into question the security of sensitive data in the city.

The hackers managed to access several terabytes of data, which were subsequently exposed on the Internet. This exposure represents a significant risk both for public services and for citizens whose personal data may have been compromised.

Berlin authorities are investigating the incident to determine the exact extent of the attack and identify those responsible. Security measures are being implemented to mitigate the damage caused and prevent future attacks on the public administration's computer system.

Tenant discovers she was being filmed by the landlord: case went to court and he was ordered to pay a fine of €6,000

A tenant in Spain discovered that the landlord had installed four video surveillance cameras inside a house rented by rooms, filming spaces such as the kitchen, the entrance, the stairs, and the water heater area. The woman filed a complaint with the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) after receiving SMS messages from two people who described what they observed through the cameras. Although the owner argued that tenants were aware of the surveillance through a clause in the contract, AEPD considered that this does not legitimize data processing, classifying the conduct as serious negligence. The landlord was ordered to pay a fine of €6,000 and forced to uninstall the entire surveillance system. The article also analyzes how a similar case would be handled in Portugal by the National Commission for Data Protection.
