Angelica Mari said that Welcome to this week’s Brazil technology round-up. Here is a selection of three key developments in Latin America’s largest economy for the week ending February 13, 2021. First up, a key story from the week that was: the government reacts as a major new leak emerges, exposing millions of consumers. We then move on to the latest results of local software giant Totvs and new data on the burgeoning healthtech sector in Brazil.
Major data leaks are becoming a routine of sorts in Brazil, and the government is trying to get a handle of the situation. As the latest major data leak that has exposed more than 102 million consumers was discovered in Brazil, recently-created National Data Protection Authority launched an investigation alongside the Federal Police and the other actors involved. The incident, first reported by Brazilian news on Wednesday (10) website Neofeed, was discovered by cybersecurity firm PSafe.
