Multifunctional centers (MFC) kept in open access personal user data, including passport information. About it reported the edition “Kommersant”.
The journalists found “a lot” of scanned copies of passports and other documents on computers in General use in the MFC. These copies allow criminals and fraudsters to issue microloans, and even to access user accounts. It is also noted that the relevant ministries will carry such data storage to gross violations.
The press service of the IFC has responded to the article “Kommersant”. The Agency emphasizes that the computers in the area of e-services do not have full Internet access and they only use a limited number of sites. Furthermore, the employees once a day, clean Desk and cart computers.
