The check is ongoing: Russian Taxi Yango could drain FSB data

According to the journalists, the investigation of the authorities showed that the personal data collected by the Yango taxi was transferred to the Russian Federation. The Yango taxi owned by Yandex has been tested in connection with the possible transmission of FSB European customers. The power of the Netherlands began an investigation into this situation. About it reports Bloomberg.

"We can confirm that they have launched an investigation into Yango," a representative of the Dutch Data Protection Authority told the agency. Yango taxi service is indeed part of the Russian company Yandex. In recent days, he has undergone an investigation into the EU rules on data protection. The power of the Netherlands has expressed anxiety in connection with the fears related to the new law that has started operating on September 1.

This law causes disputes because it provides the Russian authorities with access to information processed by taxi services. Yango reported that they cooperate with the Netherlands to demonstrate the responsibility of local law requirements, in particular, to store data and transmit them abroad. Earlier in August, the authorities of Finland ordered Yango to stop the transfer to Russia all the passengers.

"Investigation of the authorities showed that the personal data collected by the Yango taxi was transferred to the Russian Federation," the Finnish Regulator was said. He also suggested that possibly access to this data has FSB. The investigation of the Finnish power is still ongoing. Recall that Britain is suspected of espionage of Wirecard's excluder Jan Marsalek.
