Digital Wallets Risk Kids and Adults
Description
A new EU digital wallet plan aims to block kids from adult websites by requiring ID verification—but it’s a security nightmare waiting to happen. By centralizing passports, driver’s licenses, and other sensitive data, the system creates a massive attack surface for hackers, fuels phishing scams, and may fail its core goal as VPNs easily bypass it. Good intentions don’t fix flawed design—this could turn a child-protection effort into a digital disaster for millions.
