Passports: More Gaping Security Holes

Thanks to The Inquirer for this article which details how the details of passport applications of millions of people can be viewed online by a bit of simple URL tweaking (reminds me of the good old days of online games where session IDs consisted of an incremental number making it easy to hijack someone's session). What's more, it's been known about by the authorities for a year. So even before you receive your insecure RFID chipped passport someone could quite easily have received all your details anyway.

Beggars belief.
