Estonian government allocates funds to update state portal after cyber attack compromising personal ID photos.
The Estonian government has allocated €500,000 to update the state portal, the public online interface for state services, following a recent cyber attack that allowed a lone individual to access close to 300,000 personal ID photos. The attack exploited dated security systems within the State Information System (RIA), highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. The incident has prompted a review of security practices across ministries and agencies responsible for their own cyber security.
