The economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led the government to launch the charity Auxílio Brasil in 2021.Intended to help low-income families, this program evolved into Bolsa Família, today administered by the Federal Executive Branch.
Currently, there is a challenge that puts the 4 million Auxílio Brasil members in a difficult situation: the leakage of personal data.
According to reports, thousands of users were exposed to the data storage. Find out now what happened and how you can pay.
What is the objective of this Auxílio Brasil figure? In September, the Court decided that Caixa Econômica Federal, responsible for paying the aid, and the Union must pay R$15,000 to each person whose credit card was used improperly.
The decision is made outright, meaning the parties can appeal.
What is the role of Caixa Econômica Federal in this situation? Caixa Econômica Federal commented on the case, confirming that it took the judicial decision and that it did not see any documents in its possession.
The organization also claims to have the infrastructure to store its database.
Can I withdraw money from Auxilio Brasil? It is important that Auxílio Brasil volunteers understand that not all of them will be paid. Caixa Econômica will compensate those affected by the incident.
However, there are ways to know if your data has been exposed and therefore if you are entitled to a refund.
How do I know if my invoice has been issued and can I make payment? The Director of Instituto Sigilo, Victor Hugo Pereira Gonçalves, explained the terms and conditions of the process, which are based on: the use of the Instituto Sigilo website, the provision of information, acceptance of the Terms of Use and the Terms of Use of the Website and your complete information.
What is the Auxílio Brasil data leak? The Instituto Sigilo, in a note, highlighted that the amount disclosed represents 20% of the revenue of the Auxílio Brasil program.
The organization also thinks this is a great way to sell this information to make money, especially in the form of payments.
