The fact that this week started using the online process in Latvia "self-counting" of people and dwellings in Latvia (see post on this blog ) relative blauäuigig seemed started, even impartial observers could easily . inkling be After only a few days has now been accounted for: it is both in terms of the census itself, as well as for the selected online information practices and the safety of the participants rather an exercise in living Object.
Officially, the procedures are running on, but after a few hours some margins were noted to doubt the Latvian media ready whether the estimate for the process 6.5 million lats (about 10 million € may be sufficient) is not available or are spent in vain, and whether reliable and robust results are counted.
The Latvian statistical office had the opportunity to fill out census questionnaires online that can stop after just a few hours. On the one hand, it was because of the large number of enquirers come to prolonged blockade of the server, on the other hand, had been found that use the procedure chosen by people either as an access code or banking details, personal details were visible to others. Anyone one of them - personal code or banking details - by someone else typed, could readily see also other personal data. Since the reference by the implementing authority acted on the criminality of such behavior rather helpless. The portal "Delfi " even reports of successful attempts to get through passport numbers into the system and there may even change the existing data to.
Meanwhile, shake well Latvian IT professionals now only the head at the naivete with which the current census was begun. Data such as a passport number are so widespread and open to the public that they were to secure a personal access to sensitive data completely unsuitable. As well, the rush to develop a counting system, the security concerns and the duty of care had to be relegated to the background.

"Well, it's not good when someone from the other data should be arrived, but we make it not a tragedy," it is in zititiert Delfi . paid for the ex-minister, resigned in 2008 because of allegations of her birthday celebration by taxpayers 'money to have, has also pointed out that indeed the personal process the census data could write down or copy others' - If they were malicious. It ends well here in the popular politician saying, "There is never one hundred percent certainty."
the meantime, the competent authority for the count again calls for participation also in electronic processes and is now seeking only the bank either data or an electronic signature thanked for access to nutzen.Wirtschaftsminister Artis Kampar on a specially been called press conference at the "watchful media," because this is the correct method to detect such errors. The responsibility for these errors is the negligent actions of public officials to see.
is meanwhile also on the cost of the counting process continues arguing. While one side believes that we would have liked to save the 10 million lats in times of economic crisis for other purposes, to compare the other similar cases this year in Estonia and Lithuania. "2.78 is the 6.5 million lats used alone for the detection Mittes laptops," Elmar Barkan counted in Journal Kas jauns "section. "Overall, Estonia spent on the acquisition per capita to 10.1 Lat, Latvia and Lithuania 3.04 just 2 Da Lat is probably the Latvian saying." Ko taupa taupītājs, to laupa laupītājs' (the equivalent of what the thrifty believes saving the steals the robber). " Sources at the Latvian government had been heard, you felt for the implementation due to the presence of international agreements required - in the case of non-compliance threatened fines. This attitude is not quite fit the online optimism that the Latvian authorities had spread this week like.
