Scammers wet dream!
IMHO this should trigger issuing new ID number for every citizen.
Another 2020 event.
FIFY
You expect no discrimination for foreign residents? 
Even if the data is from 2006 the only thing that might have changed is the phone number.
Name, gender for a few people.
A lot of data went from the telco companies to the government when they set up the contact tracing system. No questions asked in the media, just docile compliance all around. Is that, presumably richer, data set next?
Copied health data of Taiwanese in important positions to USB stick and sold it to China to enrich himself. Treason.
Does it even matter when your information is leaked multiple times?
Taiwan is promoting digital Innovation, but can’t keep private data secure.
Why do so many employees have access to data unconditionally?
Data of every citizen was leaked and sold for 5k USD 
What a 
show
That article is crazy.
So what information was actually released. It only mentioned a few.
The banks can also access this info. Was any banking info lost too?
No, in that case the data came from the government HHR database. Though the access abused was allegedly from a 3rd party or something, so the government said they are not responsible! Ha!
But in reality they simply don’t know. They could not figure out how data was leaked and hence concluded they are not at fault.
I have had the same cell phone number for at least 25 years. It’s such a secret lol It’s even posted on this forum.
Yeh but now I have your address… Oh wait you already gave me that 
Do you normally give out your personal information?
Always lol
Can’t make this stuff up
72,000 passport photos; 26,000 authorization letters leaked
[!quote] focustaiwan.tw
Accessed by hackers were 72,702 headshots uploaded to BOCA’s website by people or travel agencies applying for or renewing passports online between Sept. 3 and Nov. 2. Applicants who submitted their applications in person at service counters were not affected.The compromised data also included 26,072 scanned letters of authorization verified by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York between Oct. 26, 2021 and Nov. 6, 2026.
Applications processed domestically or through other overseas offices were unaffected, as were birth, death, marriage and academic documents.
TW privacy policy and data security are laughable, I have never said otherwise.
