The Romanian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 20,000 on ING bank NV Amsterdam Sucursala Bucureti.
The bank had reported a data breach to the DPA pursuant to Art. 33 GDPR.
Several personal data of customers, such as id card data, bank data, bank card data, etc., were accessed and disclosed without authorization. This resulted in payment transactions being carried out by unauthorized third parties. During its investigation, the DPA found that the bank had failed to implement adequate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, which allowed the unauthorized access.
