FINALBeskrivning
The Dutch DPA (AP) has fined UWV (the Dutch employee insurance service provider - 'Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen) EUR 450,000. The UWV had not properly secured the sending of group messages via the 'My Workbook' environment. This is a personal environment on the UWV website where job seekers have contact with the UWV. As a result, there were multiple data leaks of personal information, including health information, from a total of more than 15,000 individuals.
