I concur with Mbuthia. This data being online is easy to scrape. One can easily create a database...and sell it to desperate parties... [?] . A solution would have been a 'credit card cvv' like number on the electors card. On Sun, Jan 13, 2013 at 9:21 AM, Alex Nderitu <nderitualex@gmail.com> wrote:
This information is also available at polling stations in physical copy, albeit on a decentalised scale. I dont see any major privacy issue here. On Jan 13, 2013 9:04 AM, "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
How do you define identity theft in this context?
Take the M-Pesa case for instance - what is the likelihood of identity theft happening with it?
The hullabaloo on registrations into political parties w/o consent is fraud. I think identity theft is a totally different thing.

Well another level of security would be to provide the date of birth or age. Among the risks involved is identity theft just last week there was a hulabaloo of people claiming they have been registered into parties without their knowledge.

@Gerald,
How do you suppose someone can abuse the information? What other levels of security do you propose should be used and how?
Without suggesting solutions, you are simply part of the problem:-)

Hi Skunks,
Just checked on whether am registered http://vote.iebc.or.ke/, of which I am, after that I decided to explore on whether one can mine data by keying of other ID Numbers . You will achieve this very easily,[?]trying adding/subtracting your ID number with any number, The results will amaze you. What am trying to highlight is one level of authentication wasn't a smart move with such sensitive national data.We are in the electioneering period.This has to be corrected. We must also commend them on mapping polling stations, for many it will be a useful added on feature.
Regards Gerald.
