The National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing completed, in March 2025, an investigation at the controller NEW GAMBLING SOLUTIONS S.R.L. and found the breach of Article 32 paragraph (1) letters b), d) and paragraph (2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
As such, the controller was sanctioned with

The investigation was initiated following the transmission by the controller NEW GAMBLING SOLUTIONS S.R.L. of a notification of a personal data breach, in accordance with the provisions of Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
During the investigation, it was found that, following a cyberattack, data from the controller’s IT infrastructure was accessed by a third party, namely the data of the controller’s employees (surname, first name, CNP, ID series and number, home address, data regarding the professional activity of the employees).
