Thousands of CSDD Clients Demand Compensation for Data Leak: What Amounts Are Involved

The head of the communication department of CSDD, Mārtiņš Malmeisters, reported that compensation claims have been sent to various email addresses of the agency. Each request has been responded to individually by the directorate. Additionally, CSDD has received official statements signed with an electronic signature.

According to Malmeisters, claimants most often demand compensation of around 10,000 euros.

A representative of CSDD emphasized that the investigation into the cyberattack is ongoing. The question of possible compensation payments for the acquisition of personal data from the directorate's information system will primarily depend on the decision of the Data State Inspectorate.

The inspectorate will need to determine whether CSDD is liable for non-compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union.
