Chilean road tax system

When I lived in Chile the government released an online system for applying for the road tax. All one had to do was enter the car registration number and up popped a screen to pay the tax. However, it also displayed the current owners address, RUT (national ID #), car reg #, and some other spurious data I have forgotten. No SSL was used during the session.

Needless to say we went outside into the car park, noted down peoples car reg numbers, and pulled up their details. For fun, not gain.

Next stop, I emailed the webmaster and a few others to explain why this was a bad idea. I never had a reply and the website remained the same up to the day I left the country.
