Belarus Removes 400+ Sensitive Records After Data Breach
Over 400 confidential citizen records have been removed from a Belarusian government website following a serious data breach. The National Center for Personal Data Protection (NCPDP) discovered the violation, which exposed sensitive information about administrative offenses in Belarus.
The NCPDP requested the removal of these records, which included full names, offense details, penalties, and enforcement data. According to Belarusian law, this information is classified as special personal data and requires strict protection.
The data was published on the website of an executive committee in Belarus. It is unclear which government official or agency is responsible for the leak. The publication of such lists could fall under the responsibility of various government bodies or officials, depending on the specific structure and procedures in Belarus.
The NCPDP's swift action has ensured the removal of the sensitive data. However, the investigation into the cause of the breach and the responsible parties is ongoing. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust data protection measures to safeguard citizens' personal information in Belarus.
