Dane here. Todays headline in Danish news is that the government just learned that a database containing ID numbers of all people with a driver's license was hacked last year and an unknown amount of information may be leaked. The Danish ID numbers can be used to get just about any information on Danes, whether it's tax related, education, health, criminal records, addresses, bank accounts etc.
- digitalengineer 13y agoHoly cr*p. That's my nightmare as well. The Public transport system has been hacked many times. What is the Electronic Patient, Electronic Passport or Tax system gets hacked? Anyone could take all your information and you're screwed. I think anyone owning any system whatsoever should be FORCED to go public if there system gets hacked. (Especially banks!)

- eli 13y agoI'm a big fan of Open Government, but what does that have to do with securing data that isn't meant to be public?
- wahsd 13y agoJust wait until it turns out that forcing all software to have back-doors wasn't all that great of an idea.
- mitchty 13y agoIt never has been, all it guarantees is hackers will find it and exploit it as well.
