SPANISH DATA PROTECTION AGENCY OPENS AN INVESTIGATION TO EMT ON SECURITY GAP IN FRAUD OF 4 MILLION EUROS

The AEPD has opened an investigation for possible security breach in the Municipal Transport Company of Valencia

The Spanish Data Protection Agency has estimated the appeal filed on June 1 by PP Councillor Carlos Mundina. This appeal will also investigate non-compliance with the EMT's data protection regulations.

From the political party they claim to appreciate very positively the opening of this investigation of the security breach in the EMT to avoid scams like the one that occurred a month ago and that it involved the theft of 4 million euros. The 'popular' warn in their claim a very low level of cybersecurity in the EMT as well as the lack of protocols in management. Consultancy Ernst and Young mentions that "EMT is not yet adapted to the legal obligations of the General Data Protection Regulation".

A statement is also collected by the EMT Data Protection Delegate about a possible security breach in Caixabank's e-banking in relation to possible phishing when accessing EMT's bank accounts in that entity.

Members of other political parties mentioned the major cybersecurity problems when the fraud of the 4 million euros occurred and which was certified by several important states. In addition, they claimed that the fact that there were cybersecurity problems in the EMT was cleared very prematurely, as there were notifications from the AEPD when the commission was closed.
