Decrease in Data Leaks in Belarus
Although citizens are becoming more careful with their personal data, data leaks still occur in Belarus. Over the past two years, the number of personal data leaks has declined, according to reports made to journalists by Andrei Gaev, Director of the National Center for the Protection of Personal Data in March 2025.
In 2024, around 24 million illegally processed records containing personal data were seized. The decrease in personal data leaks in Belarus suggests the effectiveness of measures taken by the government, businesses, and citizens who are increasingly paying attention to personal data protection issues.
It is worth noting that implementing legal, technical, and behavioral measures is essential for protecting personal information from data leaks. Familiarize yourself with any existing data protection laws, use international standards, secure your devices, be selective with information sharing, and use privacy tools to enhance your data security.
Given the current political context and the introduction of the new Belarus passport, it is crucial to maintain vigilance over how personal data is managed and protected in alternative systems or initiatives.
