Justice Ministry expected to fine Likud for massive data breach — report
The Privacy Protection Authority at the Justice Ministry is expected to fine the Likud party over a huge security breach that led to a leak of data on hundreds of thousands of voters, sources in the ministry tell the Haaretz newspaper.
The sources say the Israeli company that developed the Elector app at the center of the affair will also likely be fined.
The newspaper says that it will be the first time a party has been fined for leaks of voters’ data, though the fines on such matters are relatively low and are unlikely to go beyond several tens of thousands of shekels.
