THE findings of an internal inquiry into how bank details of Maison Maritaine patients could be accessed online will be made public, the Treasury Minister promised yesterday.
Deputy Lyndon Trott said those responsible for the fault in the States internet security system would be found out. ‘There will be full inquiry to find the identification of those responsible, and I give my word those details will be made public – whatever it reveals.’
Treasury and Resources denied Marcus Cicero’s claims that a vulnerability on gov.gg sites meant that anyone with basic computer competence could get control of the main server. But T&R admitted that personal information, including some bank details, of nearly 40 care home residents, some deceased, had been accessible, but only to someone with extensive computer knowledge.

I think it’s astounding that Deputies Dave Jones et al. are keen to condemn the individual that
unveiled the flaw in the States-administered computer system, rather than apologise for not
protecting the information of the Maison Maritaine patients in the first place!
You’re just lucky that Mr. Cicero had the good grace to point out your errors rather than exploit
them!
A lucky escape for the States … on this occasion!
