Personal Data Exposed on the Internet (Transparencia Activa)

[admin]

update.

We sent a letter to our contact at the interior ministry regarding the problem. He responded immediatly, and sent an inquiry to the person in charge of it at immigration. He said he would get back to us as soon as he got a response from them. By the way, this is a top down goverment inquiry so we would expect it to get some attention from immigration. Will let you guys know, when I know.

I guess the Chilean IT guys don't know what a robot file A simple command in it would make Google stop indexing the files. They are publicly accessible still but at least Google isn't broadcasting them.

Many Chilean sites don't even resolve properly without putting www. in front of the domain. But that is usually not a big deal as most sites are a Flash highway to hell.

Below please find an excerpt from the reply by the "Sección jurídica Departamento de Extranjería y Migración" to the inquiry sent online about two weeks ago by a friend of a friend of mine (not sure if under real name).

If anyone could please compose/edit the robots.txt file for their servers, and forward it to the Information Technology Division, it would be great. There must be a couple of more directories added. They also have to move elsewhere (and to 404) all the PDFs and TIFs.
