A database of 337,384 Maltese voters' personal information, including political affiliation, was publicly accessible for at least a year after being stored by C‑Planet IT Solutions in an open directory. The leak violates GDPR provisions on political data. NGOs Daphne Foundation and Repubblika, with assistance from noyb, are organizing a class action and filing complaints in EU member states.
Why it matters: The breach of political voter data under GDPR has triggered a collective legal response across the EU.
