Im totally confused about this, to me it makes no sense to have this type of information even accessable via the web.

Yes I do understand that they need to be able to access the databank, but WTF, have they never heard of closed systems?

Maybe it was done thru employee's access points or something, who knows, but if thats the case, then they need to go back to offices and waiting in line to conduct bussiness. And ditch the online systems allowing their employee's access to this stuff via the web.

Then of course, this could also have been conducted by someone within the GOV with an agenda to highten security. Basically to show how its weak and needs some drastic change with a negative impact on our personal freedoms.

Not to say that we are a free country to begin with tho.
