“What data was affected
- Personal data: name, CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID), email address, and date of birth;
- Data related to the guarantee payment: information about the taxes withheld from the payment and about the distribution channel through which the guaranteed investment was made at the liquidated institution”
Payment data, social security numbers and so on. All oficial data, Fraudsters will have a field day with it.
I've actually come to prefer their incompetence... Should they try to fix their broken assumptions, they will likely overcorrect and go off into the deep end and into full totalitarianism instead. Fraudulent calls got so bad nobody answers the phone anymore, so they just enacted a regulation requiring facial recognition to obtain or maintain a phone number. Now there's even more personal information being collected and stored. It's essentially a matter of time until they get breached and people's biometrics leak.
We are already wading neck deep, with id laws "for the children", the president vowing to get even with big tech by "regulating" them and the fact that our society is very immature when it comes to government control ("if you've got nothing to hide" isn't used ironically over here)

> Complying would require integrating a mandatory process for each user where a third party service checks government identification and confirms a match using the camera.
> It would require keeping data for auditing and providing a token for connecting age verification checks by apps and websites to the data.
It really made me miss the days the government didn't seem to know the internet existed.
And it's gonna get worse. Much worse.

Quem não deve, não teme. Truly one of the most disgusting things about Brazilian society. A constant undercurrent of low intelligence brute force authoritarianism permeates the entire country and is seemingly inescapable. They will keep doubling down on it until all freedom is erradicated.
