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. I'd rather my kids accidentally see porn once in a while than for their identity to be stolen.
