The breach allowed anyone to access the billing data of other customers, according to a report at El Espanol, which noted that the incident is similar to a serious failure that hit Spain's system in July 2017 that left personal data accessible to intruders without a high level of technical skill.

The breach came to light after a Movistar customer reported the screw-up to Spanish consumer rights group FACUA, which has since filed a complaint with the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) and is calling the incident the "greatest security breach in the history of telecommunications in Spain."

[...] However, Spain's data protection law limits these fines to between €300,000 and €600,000.
FACUA has slammed the reduced fines as "absolutely ridiculous" and is calling on the Spanish government to update the regulation.
