607,000 records pulled from two systems: Turing Scheme & Help Desk portals.
Names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, job titles of education sector contacts including government officials.
FULL STORY: https://archive.md/t7kBn
The ransomware group ExfilSquad also claim to have parent and staff contact records from the Help Desk portal at DfE.
And just how is a UK national digital ID system viable with such serious breaches?

Zuckerberg (2004) People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks.
Meta said that facial data generated for the comparison would be deleted after the match was completed.
Don't do it. Don't be the dumb fuck.

🆔 It takes seconds for experienced bar staff to perform an age-check with a physical ID at a busy pub as compared to the faff involved in a digital age-check using a phone.
🤖 In terms of privacy and security, legal ID should always be decoupled from a smartphone.

"Neither claim has been confirmed by a minister, a government department or a press office speaking on the record.
No written ministerial statement, departmental announcement or further transcript has addressed either policy since those two reports."

"...the minister highlighted that "the UK is now the most targeted country in Europe for cyber attacks."
Again, if your country is the most targeted in Europe, why persist building a new national identity system that could be a main target.

🆔 Performative governance. They also know that age-gating or general regulation of VPNs would be a huge technical & legal challenge to enforce.
❌ They also know that if they lean too hard on social media, it will further erode their broader One Login/GOV.UK ID plans.

PearGuard is an example of many tools out there to support parents and allow them to manage device screen time and app access.
Not only that, PearGuard has no analytics, tracking, telemetry or central server.
Parents should take control, not governments.

This is a fantastic and informative guide by @AureaLibe on exiting EU Chat Control.
Even if you're not based in the EU or consider yourself great with tech, this is well worth the read. Bookmark it.

The biggest takeaway here is the vulnerability of UK systems to severe data-breaches.
So the question is; why are the government continuing to build and push a National Digital ID system based on such vulnerable infrastructure.
Additionally, the article from The Telegraph is also very misleading. The attack was widespread and not specific to the UK.
Not only is there no conclusive evidence of state involvement, but any number of sophisticated cyber groups could write their code in Russian Cyrillic.

🚨 Giving Palantir and staff from other firms unlimited access to identifiable patient data before it is pseudo-anonymised is completely and utterly unacceptable.
🤖 What happens if there is a serious supply-chain hack and databreach with one of these firms?

It reads like a parody, but it's not.
The wife of Piers Morgan is happy to have her face scanned every second of the day to help solve Britain's crimewave.
Do these people actually think before they type? Clearly not.

The image is fake but the concerns about such ID requirements in the future are real and understandable, especially in British society.
Such signage is not popping-up all over London nor represents our current situation.
Better framing from the original poster of this content would be to explain that this is a potential future that we would all like to avoid.

What media are not reporting on Blair's Lifespan Fund is that it would be connected to a Lifespan app on your mobile device, use centralised digital ID verification and become integrated with GOV.UK, HMRC and NHS digital records.
Isn't it time Tony Blair and his Institute 'must go'?

For our UK followers connected via X.
Some of you may know that @edthetechie
was battling small cell lung cancer (SCLC) for a period of time.
Ed sadly passed away in his home on 27th April surrounded by his parents and closest friends.
We're thinking of Ed's friends & family during this very difficult time.
God speed, Ed. You will be missed. ❤️✝️

An utter shambles.
We have Rory Collins of UK Biobank saying that the Alibaba listings didn't contain PII (Personal Identifiable Information) and the Technology Minister saying it 'could include' sensitive category data.
And this government wants a National Digital ID system?

🚨France Titres is the French government's main platform & official system for secure identity documents that suffered a very serious databreach confirmed April 15th.
🆔 18-19 million records exposed containing passport, National ID, and drivers license data.
🤖 Considering that France usually does better than the UK when it comes to data security, this particular breach is alarming and also because of another attack [not officially confirmed] on the same system in September 2025.
🫣 If or when this type of breach happens in the UK, we are cooked.

This is a fine example of sleight of hand and deliberate, negative framing of populism as a pejorative so that the govt can protect you from shouty people on particular issues.
In reality, headlines like these show just how out of touch the govt is with society.
But Jones and the govt go further with their pejoratives, e.g. conspiracy theorists.
This is the same Labour who wholly backed authoritarian COVID legislation and also during a time when the former Conservative govt deployed the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) to effectively spy on the public.
So where is the conspiracy theory regarding surveillance then?

🆔 Although ID Austria and GOV.UK One Login differ in areas of public delivery, the UK system would still be ripe for similar attacks by bad actors, such as phishing emails and SMS to try and hijack account access.
🤖 What is potentially coming down the pipeline for the UK public is worrying indeed.

✅ Privacy by default
✅ Deeper permissions environment
✅ Open source
✅ Regular security & OS updates
Motorola recently announced a partnership with GrapheneOS in the very near future.
The fight-back against governments scatter-gun approach of age-gating our lives has just begun.

🚨 BankID is Sweden's defacto National Digital ID based system used across 7,500 services, including government.
🤖 A severe data breach has been confirmed with hackers claiming they pulled source code, user data and other internal system data.
🇬🇧 A similar breach of any GOV.UK One Login system and its e-services would be considered catastrophic.
❌ BankID's example alone demonstrates why the UK should not be building this type of system nor compelling the public to centralise some of their most sensitive data on it.
