In Sweden there was a scandal in connection with the leakage of confidential information due to provide government agencies access to classified databases of the police of the Eastern European branch of IBM company, which is engaged in software.
Last week it became known that the Swedish transport Agency in 2015 without following proper audit procedures referred the maintenance of their electronic systems to IBM.
Thus information about all the cars in the country, including police and military, became available IT workers in the Czech Republic. Even the Swedish register of licenses fell into the hands of foreigners, as well as confidential information about the ports, bridges, subways and roads in Sweden.
Also Czech IT-shnik became available secret police information on criminal offences and information about suspects in crimes.
Swedish media reported the scandal after it became known that the former Director of the Swedish transport Agency, Maria Ogren, was dismissed in January of this year for unknown reasons, was fined 3,000 dollars for “irresponsibility to classified information.”
“What happened in the transport Agency was a disaster. Therefore, the government replaced the leadership of the authority and took the necessary steps to reduce the negative consequences of what has happened,” Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Liven.
The opposition spoke of a vote of no confidence in the government in connection with the scandal.
