Minister Alexandre de Moraes has announced that initial investigations by the Federal Revenue Service have uncovered multiple illegal accesses to its systems, leading to a leak of confidential information about Supreme Court ministers and their families.
On Tuesday, Minister Alexandre de Moraes reported that preliminary investigations by Brazil's Federal Revenue Service revealed numerous illegal accesses to its system, which resulted in the leaking of sensitive information. Moraes is currently overseeing an inquiry into fake news and has expressed concerns over the unauthorized dissemination of confidential data related to Supreme Court ministers, the Attorney General, and their relatives.
The findings indicate that there is a 'block of accesses' whose analysis failed to identify functional justifications, suggesting that the information was accessed without legitimate reasons. The report from the Federal Revenue Service was directed to the Supreme Court, highlighting serious breaches of data privacy and security within government systems.
In response to this alarming situation, the Attorney General has indicated that the selective exploitation of confidential information concerning public officials has been aimed at cultivating unfounded suspicions that are challenging to dispel. This investigation could have significant implications for the integrity of Brazil's judicial system and the protection of personal data for public figures.
