Title
DA to report e-Panic data breach to Information Regulator
Abstract
The Democratic Alliance says it will report the Gauteng e-Panic Button data breach to the Information Regulator. This follows our report last week that the database behind the provincial government’s emergency app was left unsecured. It exposed crime reports, including reports of domestic violence and assault, along with the names, phone numbers, locations and movement histories of the people who filed them.
