The Corrupt Lecture the Non-Corrupt - Part XVI - EPO Had Data Breaches, Covered Them Up, Now Lectures Staff That Didn't Do It and Didn't Cover It Up

posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026

At the European Patent Office (EPO), data breaches are a matter of habit; the mangers do it [1, 2, 3] and years ago we covered examples where not only data breaches happened; there was admission that they happened and the management then tried to cover up those data breaches.

With that in mind, take a look at what they tell staff:

As usual, managers can do that, managers do in fact do that, but they lecture staff on not doing it and on a duty to report it.

Imagine what would happen to staff if (non-anonymously) blowing the whistle on management leaking and then covering up EPO data breaches. █
