this is not big news in dk, it will be up again soon - i dont know of any mitid services that are life-or-death enough to have people panicing about an hours downtime

This is a tech site, not a news site. Threads posted here are rarely if ever "big news" nor is that the point.

The topic is an opener to discuss MitID, electronic ID's in general, the protocols behind them, what happens when they fail, privacy, societies reliance on them or something similar.

>this is not big news in dk

Yep let's not learn from that incident and wait until is offline for like 2 weeks, and be assured that will happen.

  • yeah, everyone knows every European website is eventually down for 2 weeks. only the FAANG know how to keep websites up.

    • >only the FAANG know how to keep websites up

      Really FAANG can stop a solar-storm? A war on infrastructure?

      Remember that your website not just needs running computers but energy too, and a net that brings that information to the peoples, and those peoples devices need power too.

      Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots with generators to load the phone:

      https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/europe/berlin-power-outag...

      And that was a small attack on infra but 100'000 where affected.

      But sorry if i touched any of your sensitive areas...because it's Europe and not FAANG ;)
