If you weren't aware....the EU has some type of regulation they will push....requiring everyone to have a Age Verification app on their cellphone, computer, or tab.
It'll verify in some fashion....your age (from federal data they collect already).
So some folks you'd associate with hacking....got to test it this week.
Yeah....it was hacked with little to no effort.
From what I see....when you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN.
This PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect.
So the hacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone/tab....restart the app....create a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials.
There's other issues, but just this alone....makes it a problem.
I'm not saying this is the end of the idea....but whoever developed it....probably has another six months of development....before they can force it upon people.
