According to the Cheka-OGPU, the cause of a large-scale failure in MREO departments was an error when updating the access control service (SUDIS-M) to the unified information and analytical service (ISOD) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Simply put, all databases, including the traffic police department, are frozen due to deficiencies in the new software that was supplied to the police department. SUDIS-M is responsible for identifying users so that no one else can use police data; the service also records who, at what time and for what purpose, accessed the ISOD. And without the stable operation of this essentially the main guardian of the security of all police information, even a poorly educated hacker can obtain any information, or, for example, re-register a car in his name, or even worse, disrupt the security system of weapon rooms. They say that problems with software are not accidental, because… There is a shortage of qualified specialists and contractors. Everyone remembers the scandal with the arrest and then acquittal of the creator of ISOD Sergei Shilov, founder of the IT company AT Consulting. He was accused of deficiencies in the system, allegedly IT specialists tried to get the police to pay 1.4 billion rubles for a contract.
According to the source, even over the past 24 hours, programmers working for the Ministry of Internal Affairs were unable to make the system work stably – 13 failures were recorded by the traffic police, 4 failures by zonal information centers. The “queue depth” is 5 working days, so you shouldn’t expect simple car registration in the near future.
