To apply for an HQL, you must Release PII to the world

[dblas]

I really REALLY hope this can be brought up in court today.

My other wonderment (purely rhetorical, I'm sure) is whether it's enough to reactivate the PII suit?

It should be, and it should be, in my opinion.

Folks, be VERY, VERY careful trying to access a government site using "hacking" tactics or methods. I would advise NOT testing the site. You may be violating Federal laws.

Since there is no warning on this site, one may be OK. Just wouldn't "test the waters" on this one.

Regular use is not hacking.

It is the MSP's responsibility to safeguard any PII, plain and simple!

 

[Mr H]

Nope, time to go back to the judge and have them slapped around with their own pee pee.

Yep... this is the PII suit, ripe for a reopen, IMO

Government means the federal government, or one of it's independent agencies.

If the person who entered the information shared it with others and suggested that they try it, it may be a case of that person providing permission to access that specific record.

My thoughts are that it refers to the federal government, as well. Not sure if Maryland has a similar statutes. However, if the MSP computer system connects to a federal computer system (e.g., transfers to or receives data from), the federal law may apply to the MSP.

The FBI's CJIS Division operates computer networks and systems that interconnect with state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies (e.g., Law Enforcement Online (LEO), National Data Exchange (NDex), Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), to name a few).

I'm not trying to be a buzz-kill here. I just don't want someone to get into deep trouble out of ignorance.

It may be different enough because this breech deals with the HQL.

The breech should be brought up in both cases to cover the bases.

Unauthorized or fraudulent access is not "regular" use.

Now, unless Patrick is Mr. Munster with a DOB of 6/6/1966, he and anyone else using that information to gain access to the MSP system or other information contained within the MSP system, could possibly be in violation of the law.

I'm not here to argue, only to warn. So, "buyer beware", "use at your own risk", "closed course--don't try this at home", etc.

 

[ReticulateLemur]

Perhaps then I should be glad that it doesn't bring up any of my information when I punch my name and DOB in. I tried it last night after it came up but didn't want to bother since I don't have fingerprints. Now I'm thinking that I'll definitely wait a while.

Can't wait to see how this plays out in a few hours.

 

[niftyvt]

Wow, that's insane. Now I wish I didn't fill out the HQL app first thing this morning.

X1000! I didnt finish it but I registered so once I get my prints done I can fill it out ASAP. . . what a mess. I am not sure what I was expecting . . . maybe competence . . .at least a little bit. . .

 

[Bob Lee $wagger]

I like so many others here am going to wait for the courts to decide if I even need Marylandstan's bullschit license. Here's to an injunction.

Exactly what was wanted. Nobody applies for the license as it puts your PII out on the internet. (hell no, I am not doing it) The number of new firearms purchased drops drastically.

I am almost afraid to ask what happens if a wildcard "*" is used...

I would never enter my personal info on a web site unless I had good reason to think it is secure. I certainly do not think this would be secure. This is one of the worst implementations for registration I have ever seen other than a phishing site.

On one hand it looks like they are trying to eliminate re-keying some data but their approach is all wrong.

 

[MigraineMan]

Me: Look, all I want is a Handgun Qualification License. I'm supposed to be able to apply for one today.
MSP: Yeah, about that. We're kinda busy.
Me: The law *requires* you to do this.
MSP: Please don't lecture me on the law. If you pesky gun owners hadn't gone on a buying binge for the last year, we wouldn't be in this situation, now would we?
Me: This is about a handgun ... fundamental protection in the home ... the most basic exercise of the Second Amendment. It's not like I'm asking for a machine gun.
MSP: Machine gun? Oh I can let you have a permit for one of those.
Me: Really? That'd come in handy for our Saturday night bonfires.
MSP: Here. Take the standard Form S-1978 and scratch out "Application for Outdoor Music Festival Permit" and write in "machine gun."
Me: Oh. Okay. Can I pay for that with cash?
MSP: Yes. We definitely like cash.

What is PII besides 3.14?

 

[Zanderx]

Let's Suit this. I'm a netsec eng by day and let me tell you this site is a playground. We need to do something

Bee do, bee, do, bee do, bee do, bee do......

What is PII besides 3.14?

Govt definition:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The term “PII,” as defined in OMB Memorandum M-07-1616 refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. The definition of PII is not anchored to any single category of information or technology. Rather, it requires a case-by-case assessment of the specific risk that an individual can be identified. In performing this assessment, it is important for an agency to recognize that non-PII can become PII whenever additional information is made publicly available — in any medium and from any source — that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual

Good ****ing lord.

 

[pbharvey]

I'm still upset over discovering I'm older than Hermann Munster.

 

[Mooseman]

Me: Oh. Okay. Can I pay for that with cash?
MSP: Yes. We definitely like cash.

MSP will not accept cash.
