As a result of the hacking attack, the Centre lost access to patient and employee data. It only took corrective action after the fact. Before that, it had not carried out a risk analysis for personal data. Therefore, it could not effectively protect personal data - hence the fine. The President of the Personal Data Protection Office found in the proceedings that the matter was substantial. As a result, the procedures adopted at the Health Care Centre were not adequate for the risks to personal data. This was proved by an audit already carried out after the attack. The Health Care Centre believed that it did not need to notify those concerned because the data had not been stolen, it just did not have access to the data. However, the findings only show that there is no trace of data leakage. However, this does not mean that the hackers did not copy the data. Besides, if the Health Care Centre had made a reliable data risk analysis, it would have known that it is not only data leakage that is the problem, but also that patients lose access to their health data. Such a risk cannot be assessed as low. And a different risk qualification would have prompted the Health Care Centre to put better safeguards in place. In addition to the fine, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office ordered the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data processing in IT systems within 30 days. He also ordered to notify the data subjects of the incident, explain to them what happened, outline the possible consequences of the incident and indicate who can provide more information on the subject in the Health Care Centre.

Officers arriving at the bizarre scene on Mickiewicza Street found a man standing next to the tank who had been a passenger. They also found an intoxicated 49-year-old bloke nearby — who had been driving the T-55 when reports were made to the authorities. It transpired that the man had been given permission to drive the tank — but he was only supposed to have placed it on and off a trailer for transportation. But he decided to rag it around a small town in the middle of the night instead. The drunk driver's situation got even worse when police found the tank wasn't even insured. Cops couldn't clear the massive machine off the road until 5am when a former soldier who could drive the tank was called in to get it loaded onto a tow truck. It turns out the whole fiasco started when the trailer the tank was being moved on broke and had to be fixed. While it was being repaired, the boozed-up driver decided to take the tank for a spin instead of just loading it back onto the trailer as he was supposed to. His late-night joy-ride could mean he ends up facing two years in prison He could even be hit with an eight-year sentence if he's charged with creating "direct danger of a catastrophe in land We pay for your stories!
