An ID verification company that works on behalf of TikTok, X and Uber, among others, has left a set of administrative credentials exposed for more than a year, as reported by 404 Media.

The Israel-based AU10TIX verifies the identity of users by using pictures of their faces and drivers’ licenses, potentially opening up both to hackers.

And this is why I hate those laws that are intended to protect kids. Yeah, it would be nice if kids couldn’t see stuff they shouldn’t, but it’s even better if my PII isn’t stolen.
