Berlin – Corona outbreak again after a party in Berlin’s Berghain! And not only that: This time there was a data breach at the responsible district office, as the media report.
Accordingly, after the “Friday Fuck 2-4-1” party on October 15, there were initially several corona cases. In order to inform the other visitors of the event, the responsible district office Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg wrote a circular mail.
Problem with this: the mailing list was open! This means: everyone who received the mail can see the mail addresses of the other visitors.
The district office has apologized for the breakdown. Spokeswoman Sara Lühmann in the “Berliner Zeitung”: “We would like to apologize to the people concerned for this. The tracking of contacts is currently becoming more and more difficult due to the increasing number of cases with extensive relaxation of the SARS-CoV-2 measures. “
And further: “The employees are under a lot of pressure. Of course, data protection must still be preserved. As a consequence, we have adapted our processes so that such an incident is no longer technically possible. “
It is not the first corona outbreak after a party in the famous Berlin techno club. There were already numerous corona infections after an event at the beginning of October.
