ONE BILLION personally-identifiable records were leaked by IDMerit an “AI-powered digital identity verification solutions provider”. The leaked data included:

Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata

Good thing we’re not uploading personally-identifiable documents for age or identity verification or anything whatsoever OH WAIT

FUCK all this surveillance tech. FUCK this identity verification bullshit. No one can be trusted with this information.

@drahardja Was it the personal data that was deleted immediately after processing or some other data? 
@keeya When you say “immediately”…
@drahardja … as soon as our 1584 partners have processed your data. For your safety. They will of course delete it again. Honest!
