Summary

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 15,000 on the University of Pisa. On the controller's website other students could access a list of students registered for exams and change information on the exam registration session. In some cases this led to the cancellation of the registration. Inadequate controls on the student IDs of the website's users made this possible.
