Same thing happened some number of years ago with Turkey and its ID database.
The Turkish IDs have a "national ID number" (assigned to each citizen, is for life and is unchangeable) and a serial number for the ID itself. You need the national ID number to do certain things, similar to SSNs in the US. Similar to SSNs in the US, it's an absolutely horrible form of identity verification/authorization.
- adolph 5y agoSimilar thing happened in the US with a government database of PII and background check investigations. For a high value target its just a matter of when, not if. OPM subsequently confirmed that investigators had "a high degree of confidence that OPM systems containing information related to the background investigations of current, former, and prospective federal government employees, to include U.S. military personnel, and those for whom a federal background investigation was conducted, may have been exfiltrated." The Central Intelligence Agency, however, does not use the OPM system; therefore, it may not have been affected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management_data_breach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management...
