No need to hack a central repository,

True enough, but its much easier if some clown makes it all available on an unprotected plate.
And i'm not so much concerned re a central repository, just the stated aims of using this data so it can be
shared with other depts at a "person level", which wasnt allowed before.

Ironically the weakest link in privacy is not electronics, it is humans.

Whilst slack processe by humans is always bad, I always think of the recent debacles on how it was the links between systems that allow the hack, vs the repository. ( Tho that is the fault of the programmer )
eg "Smart lightbulbs" that allowed hackers to simply read out the password of the controlling wifi system, and hence gain backdoor access.
or better still the attack on the BOM, that exposed the interlinks into aviation, defence etc

And lets face it, the statistics arent used to do any "useful" planning
as projects are now done based on how close the seat is held
by those in power.
