Content
The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 1,200,000 on ORANGE ESPAGNE, S.A.U.. An individual had filed a complaint with the DPA because the company had given a duplicate of their SIM card to an unauthorized fraudulent third party without their consent. During its investigation, the DPA found that the company failed to verify the identity of the third party or obtain the data subject's consent to share their data. This allowed the fraudsters to gain access to the data subject's bank account.
