Completion of an informal preliminary enquiry due to indications of data protection violations
20.12.2024 – In November 2023, the software company Concevis was the victim of a hacker attack. Their clients included the Federal Statistical Office (FSO). Both the FSO and Concevis informed the FDPIC about the incident, as there were indications that FSO data may have fallen into the hands of unauthorised persons. The FDPIC subsequently opened an informal preliminary enquiry against the FSO and Concevis and informed the public with a short news report.
