The telecom company 1&#038;1 Telecom GmbH was fined with €9,550,000 after it came to light that sensitive customer information could be obtained by phone by anyone by just telling a client's name and date of birth. This could have permitted anyone to obtain the personal information of any customer in case they knew their name and date of birth. The BfDI considered that the company failed to implement the necessary technical measures to ensure the protection of personal data. The BfDI further revealed that the fine was intended to be much larger but was eventually decreased due to the cooperation of the company during the investigation.
