Cyber ​​attacks and security

[soniya55531]

To this end, business partners have sought to understand in greater depth and clearly define contractually the activities that involve the processing of personal data.

The concern arises not only from the legal provision of joint liability of processing agents towards the data subject, but also from the concern of those who have spent resources and efforts on adapting their own organization.

Naturally, those who have invested in personal data governance and compliance with the LGPD are not likely to do business with those who do not demonstrate that they treat the issue with equivalent priority.

In relation to data subjects, we were able to observe one of the first court rulings that invoked the LGPD in its grounds when sentencing a construction company to pay compensation for moral damages due to the undue sharing of consumer data with suppliers of products and services unrelated to the original relationship.

Another aspect that gained even more importance this year, and which even constitutes a requirement for compliance with the LGPD, is data security, especially in the cyber environment.

Although the LGPD regulates data processing carried out in instagram data physical and digital media, the second format is certainly more complex in terms of structuring security.

One of the direct effects of the pandemic was the adoption of measures, many of them hasty and emergency, of home office , which in turn proved to be conducive to cyber threats and security failures, including within the scope of the Public Power.

There were several reported incidents, including the attack on the hotsite of the judicial system of the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul, the leak of passwords from the Ministry of Health , which exposed COVID-19 diagnostic data of around 16 million people, and the ransomware attack against Embraer , which caused the release of files containing information about the company and employees..

The attack suffered by the Superior Court of Justice was particularly notable , and in an official statement, it announced that the court's network had been hacked, which caused the interruption of computerized systems and the suspension of procedural deadlines. The Federal Police were also called in to investigate the incident.
