       KUWAIT CITY, June 12: The frequent malfunctions in the automated system of the Ministry of Interior stresses on the need to take adequate measures to protect networks and systems and protect the confidentiality of information and data from being stolen or damaged, reports Al-Qabas daily. The big question on the mind of those concerned with this issue is when the malfunctions will stop and who is responsible for such questions.

       This came following disruption of the ministry system for the second time in a week, which caused confusion and congestion at the airport and the rest of the ports, amid increasing warnings from officials and technical experts who call ‘this situation is alarming’. The sources say the failure of the automated system twice within a week was genuine or are there ulterior motives for deliberately disrupting work, including attack of external parties or the so-called hackers?

       The sources indicated that the failure of the automated system at the international airport and the land and sea ports is a very dangerous matter, as it may help wanted persons leave the country and those who have a travel ban slapped on them or allow entry of those who are banned, despite the existence of an alternative system that is used when necessary – the system that cannot be fully dependent upon.

       The sources pointed out that the international airport and land ports witness a large movement of travelers during the summer season, which calls for taking more measures to ensure that the automated system does not malfunction time and again. The system failure for about an hour and a half caused queues in front of the passport counters due to the simultaneous arrival of 5 flights.
