SYRIZA “requires the immediate investigation of the incident from the Personal Data Protection Authority and the performance of responsibilities where required”
The SYRIZA-PPS Popi Tsapanidou Digital Policy and Education Department with the Department of Digital Policy of the Party was made in a joint announcement on the occasion of cyberattack to Greek Open University and the leakage of personal data of citizens on the Dark Web.
As stated in the announcement:
“The cyberattack on the Greek Open University platform on October 25, 2024, was another loud blow to the cyber security of the country and led to a huge volume of personal data of students, including names, photos,
The EAP assumption, five months later, that they have been detected on the Dark Web at least 65 gb of these personal datawhich have already been recovered by third parties, confirms the government’s deficiency to effectively deal with cyberattacks and limit losses when they occur.
SYRIZA-PS had warned, as early as 26 November 2024in the debate of the bill on cyber securityfor the need to shield state infrastructure against digital threats and the immediate investigation of this attack, since there are military students among the students, which means that they mean the risk of being identified by advisable interests.
Despite repeated warnings on the growing threat of cyberattacks, the government is still indifferent to indifference and oligarchy in taking substantial protection measures. Citizens see their personal data leaking to Dark Webwhile the authorities are limited to statements and promises, without any substantial progress.
SYRIZA-PS requires the immediate information of affected citizens for the size of the leak and the necessary protection measures, as access to such information is their fundamental right. It calls for political and administrative responsibilities for delayed reaction and lack of transparency. Highlights the need to apply strict cybercrime to all the public institutionswith clear protection procedures and preventing similar incidents in the future. Finally, it requires immediate investigation of the incident from the Personal Data Protection Authority and the return of responsibilities where required.
Protection of personal data and digital security of citizens is a non -negotiable priority For SYRIZA. ”
