    From the text on there, you can see it’s probably not that insecure. Au10tix is the company actually doing the identity verification and they’re an Israel-based company that seems to be pretty legit. I bet X only stores the data in-memory while they send it over to the appropriate APIs or something like that.

    Not that I trust them anyway with who’s in charge over there.

      As a Cyber Security professional I am telling you now, it is not a matter of “if” Au10tix get hacked and leak data it is when.

      Everyone should minimise the number of companies with important Personally Identifiable Information to prevent identity theft and other scams.

      Companies are not trustworthy while they are motivated solely by profit.

      I would hope that people who have embraced the Fediverse concept over corporate options would be more discerning with their personal information.
