"Democratic Bulgaria" MP and former minister of e-governance Bozhidar Bozhanov has warned in a letter to the State Agency for National Security about a risk of the metro and public transport in Sofia being hacked.

The risk stems from Chinese CCTV cameras and Russian ticket validators in the metro, Bozhanov suspects. The two companies that supplied the equipment have already had problems with information security and the capital city's public transport is part of the national security system, the MP wrote on Twitter.

He has filed a parliamentary question to the caretaker prime minister whether measures have been taken to prevent unauthorized access to public transport data.
