> I think something like passport data is (or should be) fairly well-protected It's sufficient if you're an EU citizen emigrating or traveling to another EU country. They ask you right and left for a passport, passport scan, over email, hard photocopy. You think you're "privacy conscious" and refuse to provide one? Well you're not getting an apartment, thanks bye. Hell, many HOTELS (encountered at least in Spain, Croatia, Malta) make a SCAN OF PASSPORT. Now for leaking hundreds of passport scans all you need is one bored, ill-treated, poorly paid reception worker.
