   The company announced the case. An outside tip in January 2021 raised suspicion of the October 2019 theft, and it investigated with lawyers and a specialist firm. In March the specialist firm found traces of the November 2020 theft, and an interview with the former employee confirmed both. [1] [4]

In October 2019 the person took building names, room numbers and names of about 3,900 people, and in November 2020 building names, room numbers, names, addresses and phone numbers of about 1,100 people: about 5,000 in total, residents tied to 25 apartment management associations. [1] [2]

Through lawyers, the company demanded that the recipient company stop using the data and destroy it, and is preparing for criminal charges against the former employee. No damage has been reported. [1]
