A serious data breach occurred in the Borodulikha district of Abay Region, where personal information of 194 school employees was made publicly available via a public procurement portal. The data included full names, national IDs, and other sensitive details.
This disclosure violated data protection laws. Prosecutors emphasized that individuals handling restricted information must maintain strict confidentiality. Failure to comply led to administrative penalties — over 1 million KZT in fines and disciplinary actions against school administrators.
The case highlights growing concerns over data leaks in Kazakhstan. A recent massive breach exposed records of 16 million citizens. Experts warn such leaks increase risks of cyber fraud, phishing, and identity theft.
Authorities claim the leaked database contains outdated records from 2022. However, core identifiers like national IDs, names, and birth dates remain valid for social engineering attacks.
Organizations are advised to adopt proactive data protection policies. Legal experts are already assisting companies in strengthening digital compliance and avoiding reputational harm.
