Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on CAJA RURAL DE SALAMANCA, S.C.C.. The controller had suffered a cyber attack in which the attackers were able to access customer data due to a security vulnerability in its systems. The DPA found that the company had failed to implement the necessary security measures that could have prevented such an incident. The original fine of EUR 250,000 was reduced to EUR 200,000 due to voluntary payment.
