Context: mObywatel is a Polish app comprising most of critical governmental services.

    However, browsing it requires an active ”Profil Zaufany” (exactly translated to English as Trusted Profile) account, which is not available for registration for people outside of Poland.

    According to the ministry’s statement issued in their own Public Information Bulletin, this requirement has been enforced as a part of ”recommendations issued by the Ministry of National Defence’s CSIRT team, which include the possibility of user accountability”.

    Moreover, the published code cannot be easily copied over while browsing via the official website.

      It’s the dumbest “security” rule I ever heard of. It’s a “limited access” shared by almost 30 million people.

      Even if you manage to log in here, there’s nothing much to browse here. It’s just the mObywatel’s UI generation code.

      Which by itself is useless.
