@Marcus Perhaps I should read the article itself, but the summary makes it sound like a nothing burger.

As social networks and porn sites move towards a verified identity model, the actions of one #cybersecurity researcher show that ID verification services themselves could get hacked too.


Of course they could get hacked. Name me a service that couldn't. Does the article mention anything that makes them particularly vulnerable, or is it just about how bad such a hack would potentially be because of the nature of the information they store?
