Workers have been warned that they store personal data on work devices “at their own risk” after a HSE employee lost a court challenge over stolen cryptocurrency.
Eamon McShane claimed he lost €1,400 due to a HSE cyber attack four years ago. He challenged a Data Protection Commission (DPC) decision to refuse to investigate an alleged data breach relating to personal information on his work phone.
