FINALDescription
The Cypriot DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 40,000 on the soccer club APOEL FC. Due to a lack of security measures in the club's ticket sales system, it was possible for an unauthorized person to access and disclose personal data of fans on the club's website. This data involved the name, the fan card number and the ID number of the data subjects. The DPA concluded that the club failed to implement adequate technical and organizational security measures. In separate proceedings, the DPA fined AC Omonia and Hellenic Technical Enterprises Ltd. for the same violations.
