I think this has to do a lot with the recent massive clusterfuck of a shitshow that is the IDScan breach.
Recently a group of hackers (presumably from Russia) breached a database from a Louisiana-based ID verification service called IDScan which is a service that provides ID verification for restricted goods and services like car rentals, checking into hotels and casinos, alcohol purchases, cannabis and tobacco purchases, retail pickups, and even some banks.
This isn't some stupid script kiddies trolling random people for a laugh, these are hackers that pulled off what is arguably the dox of the century where half of the Canadian population has now been doxed and half of the American population has now been doxed too.
Over 150 million government issued IDs and driver's licenses have been stolen and were put up for sale on the darknet until the darknet service selling this stolen information pulled the plug (probably due to things getting too hot as this has made international news with the FBI now investigating this matter and I'm sure they're working with their international law enforcement partners to find the perpetrators).
What makes this story big is that Pete Hegseth (the current Secretary of Defense) has also been doxed because of this breach (his ID was listed on the darknet for sale too). This truly is the dox of the century.
We haven't seen a dox like this since Equifax where they were negligent with their cybersecurity and suddenly their customers got doxed and exposed to criminals.
In a morbid way, I hope more shit like this happens. I don't condone criminal activity but I just want to see the stupid tech-illiterate boomers in power that still think IDs to access the Internet is a "good idea" get humiliated in incidents like these because of their short-sighted stupidity. I want to see these stupid boomers in power with their smug arrogant faces get humiliated time and time again when their stupid laws that they wrote put people in grave danger and fuck with people's lives because these tech-illiterate boomers don't want to understand the fact that there is no such thing as unhackable.
This should serve as a hard lesson for the idiots in power that criminals do not care about their well-intended "Think of the Children" policies and they will abuse said well-intended policies for financial gain and ruin people's lives.
Privacy is not just a shield against retarded governments that think they know more than you, privacy is also a shield against the psychos and scumbags of the world that want to hurt you too.
