According to an internal review, the US passport and visa Consular Consolidated Database (CCD) database is open to intrusion. The CCD contains more than 290 million passport records, 184 million visa records, and 25 million records on US citizens living abroad. An official at the US State Department confirmed that many vulnerabilities have been already fixed, but according to information collected by the ABC News many flaws are still in place. State-sponsored hackers could use them to provide fake identities on the US soil, but most disconcerting is a possible abuse made by terrorist groups.”]
