    Let me tell you a little story, and please warn every single person who you know and it is in Budapest for the next few weeks.

    So there is a world championships for aquatics sports event what starts tomorrow here in hungary. I don't want to get into how the budget is now 500% because that's some local shit and it isn't the case.

    What is actually important and every participant should know is that there will be free wifi for the visitors, journalists etc. And last week some journalists found out that a rassan company will run the network for an incredible amount of money. And you will be able to access it by giving out your social media profile or some personal stuff. Despite the fact that we have much more qualified local companies who can run a network like this securely, and w/o collecting any data. Today the gov. spokesman was asked about this and he told to the Hungarian press in a really doubtful way that they shouldn't use that network.
    Few mins ago they sent out a press release that there will be an investigation after the event by the national security agency...

    And the fun part: This isn't the first time in the last years that our government got caught selling personal data to Russia for some unknown reason. Almost a month ago there was an national consultation with some stupid questions what you can answer online and by mail like: do you hate illegal immigration? And we figured out that the website what they built to answer this questionnaire sends everything back to the rassan Yandex system (not just the stats but your personal info as well like name, dob, email, location). At this time there was some ridiculous explanation that the web agency fucked it up.

    • oh and some extra twist: the company what collects the data is registered in Azerbaijan to a family home, but it has an active hq and two owners in rassa :D
