Confidential audit reports have revealed that the Schengen Information System II (SIS II), a critical EU border control software used to identify illegal immigrants and suspected criminals, contains thousands of software and security vulnerabilities. These weaknesses expose the system to potential hacking risks, raising concerns about the security of Europe's border management. The audits warn of a catastrophic breach risk due to these gaps. Additionally, between 2016 and 2023, Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, reportedly shared private data and information on over 13,000 individuals illegally with Europol, according to reports. This raises further questions about data privacy and security within EU border operations. Meanwhile, rising cyber threats have prompted billions of email users worldwide to be urged to change passwords, with warnings issued against using weak or common passwords following FBI alerts about two-factor authentication bypasses. Security reports also highlight vulnerabilities in school records due to weak password practices.
