Here's a good quick video to explain the ins and outs. The guy's good at tracking all this digital ID bullshit.
Essentially because of the governments forcing this on them, a lot of companies are turning to third parties to do the id check. This is a security risk that has ALREADY been easily exploited and devalue the UK digital ID since we KNOW they are aiming to use a third party to handle THEIR one, which would put TENS OF MILLIONS of personal data at risk.
Chinese spies stole two orders of magnitude more identity data including SSNs and fingerprints from the US government's Office of Personnel Management in 2015 and nothing really happened.
Good. Data breaches need to happen early and often to spur the wholesale rejection of digital ID and digital life.
"Real digital security hasn't been tried yet!" - the next line of the script.
They're just going to use these incidents to centralize all that data in a single age-verification provider under their control.
They expected these leaks and they're part of their plan.
Expected is the wrong word. Performed is the correct one.
Why? It won't change anything.
To the surprise of nobody the shitshow turned out to be a shitshow.

The data vulnerability is a feature of the legislation not a bug.
They want this to fail so they can push a universal digital ID system.

Cool. Time to read the article hoping there are details about the hack and some interesting technical vulnerability.
Fell for it again.
