The CCOO union has denounced the leak of personal data of its union delegates at the National Library of Spain. They directly point to director Óscar Arroyo and the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, for allowing an environment of chaos and mismanagement. In a written statement, they demand immediate measures or they will request the minister's dismissal at the next Council of Ministers.
Data breach: the technical failure that exposed delegates 🔒
The leak points to poor management of the BNE's internal systems. Affiliation data, considered sensitive under data protection regulations, would have been accessible without proper access controls. CCOO argues that this evidences a lack of cybersecurity protocols and administrative negligence that puts workers' privacy at risk. An error that, far from being an isolated incident, reflects a structural problem within the institution.
The minister, among dusty books and lost data 📚
It seems that at the BNE, not only old books are lost, but also the data of its employees. While Urtasun reviews catalogs, union delegates discover that their personal information circulates more freely than a user with an expired card. CCOO is already sharpening its arguments: if the director is not removed, they will demand the minister's head. At the rate they are going, soon more shelves will be needed to store the case files of the lawsuits.
