Leaks epidemic can lead to toughening Russian laws

The incident with a leak of information of state departments was interested in the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and the Office "to" the Ministry of Internal Affairs, RIA "Novosti" reports. In these departments they are going to check what documents have flowed on the Internet. In addition, a prosecutor's audit of compliance with legislation in the field of protection of personal data and the official information of limited access state agencies has been appointed.

Particularly vigilant citizens made the incidents think about how well the data on the Internet were protected. Thus, the head of the State Duma Committee on Inform Policy, Sergei Zheleznyak, believes that the frequent cases of personal data leaks and the last case related to the documents of state departments may be “someone planned by the President of the Russian Federation of amendments to the Law on Personal Data. The deputy also announced his readiness to legally tighten responsibility for such violations.

However, the agency notes, experts in cyberbasicity repeat the second week that the reason is much easier - the irresponsibility of developers and sites administrators who do not pay due attention to information protection on controlled resources.

A similar opinion was expressed by the Deputy General Director of Finams, the author of the article “Personal Data of Russians in Dangers” Viktor Galenko. According to the expert, the leak of personal data of Russians is constantly happening, what is now happening with the entry of state documents in the search engines - the preparation of public opinion for toughening the law.

"You can buy absolutely any information at any intersection, the traffic police database, the tax inspectorate database, the data of credit stories, what is flowing, it is sold on sites, is sold on the" hump. "That is, all personal data is in the public domain. This hysteria is created in order to prepare public opinion for the tightening of the law on personal data. Electronic passports, unified Maps like the Muscovite social card and these data will be sold at each intersection after some time, so the state prepares tightening the law on personal data up to criminal liability in order to stop it, because at the present stage the state cannot cope with the leakage of personal data, ”Galenko said REGNUM .

The day before, we recall, using Google, users were able to find documents located on two sites - gov.ru and gov.ua. Among the files that are in the search results, documents of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), the Accounts Chamber, the Ministry of Economic Development and other departments.

In total, about 200 files got into open access - on some of the documents you could see a note "for official use" and "secret".

The Google press service in this regard assures that the search engine is indexing only open information. Access to information protected by web developers, the search robot simply cannot get.

The position of Google almost completely repeats the statements of representatives of Yandex, previously accused of "publishing" information about customers of online stores and SMS messages sent from the site of the Magafon mobile operator.

Meanwhile, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Accounts Chamber and the Federal Migration Service of Russia denied information about the "secrecy" of documents, saying that the search engines index only open -access information.
