More than 1000 apply for Riga resident’s status in just few hours; hackers’ attempts to hinder registration prevented
"Rīgas satiksme" points out that the increased interest of customers has caused a high load on the webpage systems, for example, the first attempt of filling in the electronic application form may fail. There were also attempts from hackers to affect the functioning of the webpage, which did not hinder the general operation of the website. All personal data provided by the customers are in full safety and there are no reasons for customers’ concerns, "Rīgas satiksme" says.
At the same time, the company’s representatives remind that applying has just started and there are no reasons for big haste – one can apply during the coming two months.
