What makes it secure is that by law government entities (ministries, departments, etc) should not store data that can be queried from other available registries. So when I go to some official then they look at personal number, look up where I live, and don't have to ask me to fill forms about where I live and what car I have or whatever, data that is already stored in one place. The advantage is this: it is a lot easier to keep data secure when it's in one place (for example.. your address), than when every department had their own databases about addresses of people who have interacted with it.

Why do you think our current system is scarier than the alternative that exists in most other countries? Where every ministry has their own random databases, with data that is probably outdated.

Also, the cyber attacks by russia are always DDOS attacks, they can't achieve anything else.
