<p class="MsoNormal">I think the point being made, was that the distrust of the Census has been increased with the failure of the website, and the mainstream media taking the 'hacking' angle. It's safe to say the stored data is ok, but there are millions more
submissions to go. If people think it was 'hacked', they won't give a truthful answer for fear of their information being stolen (which we know, it won't). More of a general observation than a technical observation (which I do agree with).<o:p></o:p></p>

A DoS attack does not make the dataset compromised.<br>
<br>
Having too small key space does. 1/100000 is not a big space for<br>
computers to search through. It's only ~20 bits of security. A<br>
extra 4 digits would have raised it to ~30 bits. A extra 8 digits<br>
would have raised it to ~43 bits. Entering 5 x 4 digit sequences<br>
is not hard. We do 4 x 4 + 3 for every visa / mastercard transaction<br>
we do online today.<br>
