SADM announced in mid-September that SPIS users will not be able to use two services for some time – one-time payments for a pregnant woman and payments for the birth of more than one child at the same time.
The use of these services has been restricted after noticing that due to a technical failure of the system, part of the information may not have been available to the persons for whom it is intended. 15min when asked if there was a case of data leakage, the ministry then said that it was investigating the situation.
On Monday, it was confirmed that the data was indeed leaked – the name, surname and benefits of other customers were available to third parties.
“Yes, there was such a case. This is one of the arguments why we have already taken other sanctions against the supplier, some of the personal data was visible to others, as a result we quickly disabled the system – more precisely, two services were disabled. We reacted quickly so that the shortcoming was corrected,” SADM chancellor Ana Selčinskienė confirmed to journalists on Monday.
According to her, the State Data Protection Inspectorate has been notified of the data breach. “What personal data was reported, how many people saw it and for how long,” she clarified.
She confirmed that today the deficiency has already been corrected.
15min when asked what data was available, she stated that it was name, surname, benefits. It was clarified that nine people saw data that did not belong to them, these were rare cases.

SADM Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Cybersecurity
In mid-September, the Social Democratic Labor Movement of Lithuania (SADM) announced that users of the Social Insurance System (SPIS) would not be able to access two essential services for a limited time. The services in question were one-time payments for pregnant women and payments for the birth of multiple children at the same time. This decision was made after a technical failure was detected in the system, which may have led to the unavailability of information intended for certain individuals.
Following this incident, concerns were raised about the possibility of data leakage. In response, the ministry launched an investigation into the situation. Unfortunately, it was soon confirmed that personal data had indeed been leaked, compromising the confidentiality of customers’ information. The leaked data included names, surnames, and benefits, which were made available to third parties.
SADM Chancellor Ana Selčinskienė acknowledged the breach, stating that nine individuals had accessed data that did not belong to them. She further clarified that the State Data Protection Inspectorate had been notified of the incident and that the deficiency had been corrected.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital age. With the increasing reliance on technology, the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks is becoming more prevalent. It is essential for organizations to prioritize the security of their systems and implement robust measures to protect sensitive information.
Regrettably, this is not an isolated incident. The Employment Service in Lithuania recently suffered a data breach, compromising the personal data of 29,000 customers in July. This was not the first such case, highlighting the need for organizations to be proactive in safeguarding their systems and data.
In the era of sophisticated cyber attacks, such as the novel clean-label targeted poisoning attack on learning mechanisms <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Architecture-of-SADM-SmartObjects-11fig1346054146″>[1[1[1[1[1[1[1[1], it is crucial for organizations to remain vigilant and invest in advanced cybersecurity solutions. The Pegasus Project, a consortium of journalists, gained access to a leak of over 50,000 phone numbers that were targeted by Pegasus, a sophisticated spyware [3[3[3[3[3[3[3[3]. These examples demonstrate the scope and complexity of cybersecurity threats.
the SADM data breach serves as a wake-up call for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity and take proactive measures to protect sensitive information. By investing in advanced solutions and remaining vigilant, organizations can minimize the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks, thereby safeguarding the trust of their customers.
