It is emphasized that no illegal activities have been recorded in the MIGRIS system.
“We draw attention to the fact that the personal data collected and processed by the Migration Department is not provided on a self-service basis. Physical and legal persons create their personal MIGRIS accounts themselves,” says the Migration Department.

Šarūnas Grigaliūnas, head of the Cybersecurity Competence Center at Kaunas University of Technology, told 15min that institutions whose employees’ accounts were used to access the Register Center’s data should also conduct internal investigations.
“The fact that the Register Center was accessed through user accounts means that all accounts that were used to log in or the institutions from which these accounts were used may also be compromised. This means that not only the Register Center should conduct an audit or self-check, but also the institutions whose employees’ accounts were compromised,” emphasized Š. Grigaliūnas.
According to him, it is important to conduct the investigation because the employees whose accounts were used to hack into the Register Center likely had access to important data in their institutions.

How to check who accessed your account

- Click the button in the upper right corner of the website where the account owner’s name and surname are displayed;
- Open the “My Data” option.

An IP address is a unique digital “address” assigned to each device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) connected to the internet. This address differs from the login location and the internet service provider.
