Lack of security and identity thefts cost Danish students any future

An international gang of hackers used the conflict between CSC and their workers to hack into central registers which were left open for all to copy for month. None of the cheap imported Indian replacement workers discovered that the security was breached. The result was a massive number of cases where Danish identities were copied.

Unknown people caring Danish passports committed vandalism in Prague. Using the copied passport numbers the police sent the demand for compensation to the young Danes who had these original passports and they are now forced to pay a fortune because rules in the European Union prevent them from seeking the rulings in courts down there challenged in Danish courts. For many of the teenagers their future ends before it is starting. Some have working class background and they will based on their social heritage never be able to pay this massive sum.

The time has come to create a new system in Denmark for social security numbers. At the same time every parent should see to that their children are kept at home instead of participating in the binge drinking holiday which is the only attraction in the Czech Republic. The only message the authorities in the Czech Republic understands is money. No tourists. No money. We have the power to pressure them. We have to use our power.

Last but least maybe the state of Denmark should insource the management of important data like social security numbers, driver’s licenses and passports. Too many of these important documents are lying around everywhere. The local city halls in Denmark contain passports in an unfinished state. Several have been stolen. They are important papers for every possible terrorist. We need them to be guarded better.
