The director of the National Revenue Agency (NRA) Galya Dimitrova will not resign due to the leakage of data from the information arrays of the revenue administration, which affected more than 5 million Bulgarian citizens.

If you have made an enquiry and it shows that your personal data has been unlawfully disclosed, it is important for you to know that you do not need to take extraordinary action.

You do not need to change your identity documents.

The National Revenue Agency has announced telephone numbers that can be used for information about leaked personal data.

To use the services of the NRA Information Center from abroad, you need to dial the number (+359/2) 9859 6801.

The Parliament has included in its today's agenda a draft decision to set up an ad hoc inquiry committee over the hack attack on the National Revenue Agency, Focus News Agency reports.

We prevented a hacker attack against the Commission for Personal Data Protection, its Chairman Ventsislav Karadjov told the Bulgarian National Radio. The attempt was made through the wireless Wi-Fi network of the commission, which means that the perpetrator was within the area of the building.

"The most important question at the moment is what people who suspect that their personal data has leaked can do. We are currently developing an application for the National Revenue Agency site. Everyone will be able to check whether their data has leaked. We'll probably release it in a few days.
