The Helsinki Police Department has reported a crime report of Valio’s extensive hacking. The crime report was made by Valio.
Police are investigating the matter as a gross fracture. The personal data of up to 70,000 people has been compromised. The police receive all the necessary information for the investigation directly from Valio. Thus, a member of the pension fund does not have to make a separate crime report or contact the police.
Criminal commissioner Lauri Huittinen says that the pre -trial investigation is currently exploring the exact course of events and how the hack was done.
– It is a good idea for all parties to work to protect their own identity. In addition, tips can be used in a preventive sense, as the network endangers online is growing, says Huittinen.
Information of the criminal investigation in connection with the hacking is the police, while Valio is a registrar and tells the information about the systems to leak and applies to this.
Valio has drawn up instructions for those who have been the subject of a burglary. In addition, in their announcement, the police reminds us of the instructions found on Suomi.fi for leakage of personal data. Also, from the police hint phone on 0295 475 314, and the hint email [email protected] is possible for more information on the hacking.
In December, Valio announced the security attack on its information network. As a result, people of about 70,000 people leaked into the wrong hands from the Valio pension fund information system. Previously, Valio reported that the matter would apply to about 5,000 people, but the burglary was revealed much wider than estimated.
