NA politician: CSDD head should not stay in office after cyberattack
Following a major cyberattack on Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) that exposed data of roughly 1.2 million individuals and 200,000 companies, National Alliance representative Artūrs Butāns says he sees no way the agency's director could remain in the post.

Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) has suffered a large-scale cyberattack that resulted in the theft of data belonging to approximately 1.2 million individuals and 200,000 legal entities.
Responding to the breach, Artūrs Butāns, deputy leader of the National Alliance (NA) faction in the Saeima, said he does not see how the head of CSDD could continue in the role following an incident of this scale.
Butāns pointed to the sheer scope of the leak — affecting a large share of Latvia's population and a significant number of companies — as evidence of serious shortcomings in the agency's data protection systems.
It remains unclear how CSDD's leadership or the responsible ministry will respond to the call for accountability.
