FINALDescription
As the UWV (the Dutch employee insurance service provider - 'Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen') did not use multi-factor authentication when accessing the online employer portal, security was inadequate. Employers and health and safety services were able to collect and display health data from employees in an absence system.
