I think this kind of thing is a big blow to Digital ID.
Hopefully people wake up (and rise up)?
Truth
Discord said its own platform was not breached.
Yeah...so its all good! Continue to give us your data.
BS.
Digital ID is going to be a nightmare. Maybe it can be thwarted by creating fake ones...maybe by using hacked info!
I don’t know about other states, but the Az MVD digital online system is now handled by a third party, it didn’t used to be. I was in there the other day and there are tracking and data mining scripts from Facebook, Vimeo, and others who have absolutely no business in “secure” State Motor Vehicle business. If they are in there, it is NOT secure...
Digital ID! Just what we need, just bend over and give them all your information for it to be stolen and your life destroyed. Notice the fair payouts to those already damaged just with current levels of data required?
It’s a huge concern isn’t it.
It really will be and the sheep do not understand….. yet when too later!
