Yet another step to make things more straightforwardly hackable for interested actors.
Sorry for the cynicism, but I can't help thinking that all this digitalization and automation is just plain blessing for foreign intel agencies, if not the main goal.
- lowdose 8y agoThis, it seems like the Overton window is moving in one direction.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoIsn't it an Overton conveyor belt at this point? The kind of you see on airports, for moving people. No matter which side you start on, in the end, you'll be pushed over there.
- eega 8y agoI doubt that it is a goal to make it easier for foreign intel agencies to get this data. But I also strongly doubt that they are capable of preventing it ...
- garmaine 8y agoNo one said it's a goal. Just reality.
- tasubotadas 8y ago> if not the main goal.
- coldtea 8y agoGrantparent above literally said it's a goal.
- lucideer 8y ago@sibling commenters I believe the gp meant it's the goal of foreign intel agencies to encourage worldwide digitization/automation of everything (not the goal of the EU).
- duxup 8y agoMore so for bad actors outside the government than those in it I suspect.
- rooam-dev 8y agoOn the other hand, this could mean a joint effort to make it more secure, since stakes would be higher.
- gnulinux 8y agoI don't think it's possible to make a 100% secure complex system. You have a lot of moving parts, from OSS vulnerabilities to proprietary S vulnerabilities to hardware issues to social engineering to DevOps mistakes to intellectual laziness etc. With 0.01% chance millions of Europeans data will be stolen.
- rooam-dev 8y agoI did not say 100% secure. Joining efforts and resources could be a better approach than leaving it to each country to secure their own database.
