Electronic sabotage discovered in Ukrainian public registry
Specialists from the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine discovered a script called “does not shine” in the public register of construction, which hid registered documents for 10 days so that they would not be displayed in the public part of the register, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov announced this on his Facebook page.
“Last Friday we launched the first 9 electronic services in the construction sector without an official. Over the weekend alone, 19 construction projects were started and 6 objects were put into operation online,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
According to him, while closely monitoring the first services, a “strange fact” was discovered - documents after automated verification are automatically registered in the registry, however, they are not displayed in the public part of the registry.
“That is, it is impossible to publicly verify that, for example, a right is registered. Our specialists quickly checked this situation and found a very strange script in the construction registry with an equally strange name “does not shine”, which hid documents for up to 10 days depending on various parameters that were clearly not entered by the system administrator. It’s like a “hello bookmark” from our predecessors,” Fedorov wrote.
He noted that this fully explains the scheme, when previously, after people submitted documents, outsiders contacted them and offered to expedite the registration of documents.
The Vice Prime Minister added that the script was removed and promised to publish the construction register in the form of open data in order to remove all possible manipulations and concealment of data.
“This will enable the media, business, and the public to easily check the legitimacy of any construction, analyze the developer, whether he has many long-term construction projects and violations in the past - to make this market absolutely transparent,” Fedorov noted.
Earlier, Prime Minister Alexey Goncharuk promised that with the help of the new service “electronic account of the developer”, corruption should eventually completely disappear as a phenomenon from the construction sector.
