This is one of the real dangers of GDPR. If you make it really easy to download the entirety of someone's online life mistakes and fraud will occur where the wrong person receives it. This was probably some human error and not malicious but I will bet the malicious cases are coming (or are already occurring).

- kinkrtyavimoodh 8y agoThat's quite a spin on the story. This is not one of the dangers of the GDPR, it's a danger of companies keeping sensitive user data with them forever when they clearly are incapable of being good stewards of it (and no, you don't deserve to be called good stewards if you have even one leak). Perhaps, just perhaps, this will incentivize companies to have strict data expiry policies (at the very least), but I am not holding my breath.
