@Walker@infosec.exchange Of course, the headshot is just the first clue, but what you say is troubling because there's a race now to force people to use digital IDs to navigate some websites. If I were a cybercriminal, I'd jump on those.

@AAKL@infosec.exchange the possible requirement of digital IDs was not lost on my after I made the post.
The issue is that digital IDs are not the panacea as advertised. As reported at Defcon last week, the North Koreans are masters of creating fake passports, national ID cards, often tied to real identities; or using stolen IDs.
If we are all required to enter our real IDs to access these platforms the attackers would enter fake IDs, and we would be back at the starting gate again.
