To find out whether their data has been accessed, citizens can submit requests to the e-Government Agency (AGE) at [email protected]. The request may be submitted electronically, with a digital signature, or on paper. The request may seek information on who accessed the personal data, for what purpose and on what legal basis, as well as on any consequences of the incident.

Individuals who believe their rights have been infringed may lodge a complaint with the CNPDCP via the website datepersonale.md or on paper.

The Centre has announced that it has launched an investigation to establish the circumstances of the cyber-attack and to verify compliance with the law by the institutions involved. The results of the investigation and the measures taken will be made public.

At the same time, members of the public are urged to keep any notifications and screenshots of suspicious access attempts, noting the date and time, as well as any replies received from the institutions contacted. These may be used as evidence should a complaint be lodged.

We would like to remind you that the cyber-attack on government information systems resulted in the unauthorised extraction of data associated with approximately 750,000 personal identification numbers (IDNP). The information potentially affected includes names, dates and places of birth, details of family members, health insurance, pensions, social security benefits, disability, driving licences, vehicles and companies owned or managed by citizens. The data in question also includes financial information, such as IBAN codes, tax liabilities and payment history via MPay.
