Security testing company Influent has established "a breach" on the State Probation Service's (SPS) homepage – www.probacija.lv.
Due to the homepage's technical shortcomings, any Internet user can access SPS employees' personal and salary data, LETA observed.
By taking advantage of considerable security violations on SPS homepage, it is possible to gain access and manipulate with all information on SPS server, and the server itself, points out Influent.
Influent informed SPS about "this breach," but did not receive any answer.
All publicly available SPS files can be found on www.probacija.lv/upload.
