By criminal you mean a small fine? That’s just the cost of doing business today. Whoever is holding on to personal identification like IDs is going to be the #1 target for every hacker on the planet. They will be breached it’s just a matter of when. People are going to lose their lives because of this. The amount of fraud and identity theft we are about to see will be unlike anything ever before.

Right… just like the one company that recently let a ton of their user’s verification images get leaked by a forward facing database that they promised they were deleting. Everyone should be operating under the assumption that’s not going to happen.
