Estonian Hacker Steals 300,000 Government ID Photos - Security Boulevard

EE ID PII AWOL Redux: Estonia’s electronic ID system was hacked last week. Again. The eastern European country is well-known for its advanced cryptographic identity card system, but it seems there are flaws in the access management design.
