The INSS highlighted that granting benefits requires a series of documents and proof steps
The National Social Security Institute (INSS) reported this Friday, 22, that there was a Dataprev data leak on April 22nd, with around 50 thousand CPFs of living citizens having been accessed. According to the INSS, this corresponds to just 3% of total unauthorized access. According to the agency, 97% of the leaked data refers to CPFs of people who have already died.
The agency said that the necessary measures had been taken, with sending a communication to the National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) within the due period.
“According to preliminary information, of the total number of CPFs accessed, 97% were of deceased citizens. Dataprev found the occurrence of approximately 50,000 cases involving individuals who did not have a death record – less than 3% of registered cases. The data is still being consolidated by Dataprev”, stated the agency in a note.
The INSS also highlighted that granting benefits requires a series of documents and proof steps. “Payroll loans, for example, require facial biometrics. The death pension requires a death certificate, among other documents and procedures.”
Therefore, any benefit grant has a series of security locks. The agency also informed that it has strengthened its internal controls “in order to offer greater security in the analysis of its benefits”.
