Almost all citizens of city of Eindhoven have their personal data exposed

Posted on May 24, 2024 by Dissent

Graham Cluley reports:

A data breach involving the Dutch city of Eindhoven left the personal information related to almost all of its citizens exposed.

As Eindhovens Dagblad reports, two files containing the personal data of 221,511 inhabitants of Eindhoven were accessible to unauthorised parties for a period of time last year.

Everyone who lives in the Netherlands has a citizen service number (known as a burgerservicenummer or BSN) – a unique registration number that is used when dealing with the Dutch government and official bodies.  It is effectively a social security number which is used as an identifier when paying taxes, receiving social security and healthcare.
