In this edition of the Cybernews, we highlight the main news stories that permeated the digital and data protection landscape in July 2024.
In recent months, Brazil has faced three significant incidents related to data security and transparency, highlighting vulnerabilities in different sectors. The Central Bank revealed a data leak of more than 39,000 Pix keys, managed by 99Pay, exposing registration information, although without compromising sensitive data.
Moreover, the Brazilian National Institute of Social Security (INSS) dealt with the exposure of sensitive data of millions of beneficiaries, due to flaws in access control to the Unified Benefit Information System (SUIBE).
Finally, the Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region banned a supermarket from failing to comply with its equal pay policy, forcing it to publish transparency reports as required by the Ministry of Labor and Employment. These events underline the importance of rigorous security and transparency measures to protect personal data and promote equality in the country.
