User data protection


    Now more and more information appears on leaks of user profiles. Moreover, the number of lost profiles is measured in hundreds of thousands. It is often said that this is only 1.2, N%, but what is it for those who are in these percentages and nothing prevents you from becoming one of these users.



    In the media, on the Internet, from advertising posters, we increasingly come across the term - computerization . In our country, at a fairly slow pace, but opportunities to use public services via the Internet are beginning to appear. A vivid example of this is the possibility of obtaining a passport.

    Computer - simplifies a person’s life, less time is required for processing documents, less time is required for standing in lines, but you have to pay for everything. And here we pay with personal data security. You just imagine that you wake up in the morning go to Lenta.ru or Google News and find out that 1% of tax profiles have leaked. And you can fall into this 1%.

    The military commissariat prompted me to such thoughts, where all the "profiles" of users are in large boxes and you need to go through many cabinets to get each piece of paper, and from the means of computerization - only a computer in the archive is available. Enter the last name and first name - you get the box number and the shelf, that is, the place where you can find the "profile". With this storage method, it will simply be physically impossible to take away 100,000 “profiles”. Yes, from a point attack, the protection is minimal, but there simply cannot be a mass leak! Each box has no more than 100 profiles, and such a box weighs quite a lot.

    Thus, it turns out that information about the entire male population of the country is under lock and key in the literal sense of the word, and I think everyone knows that the military enlistment office questionnaire is quite extensive.

    It turns out that all this tyagomotin with pieces of paper, queues help us in confidentiality and reduces the likelihood that our personal data will be with third parties.

    Who has any opinion on this?
