Critical vulnerabilities found in Connective, Belgium's eID digital identity extension used by over 2 million citizens. The browser plugin, developed by Nitro Software Belgium, exposes PINs, electronic signatures, and devices to compromise. #DigitalIdentity #BelgianEID #CriticalInfrastructure #ZeroTrust https://cyberworldops.eu/en/critical-vulnerabilities-in-belgium-s-connective-digital-identity

The European Commission has registered the ECI "Stop Killing The Internet: No Digital ID & No Age Verification" (22 July 2026). Registration = admissibility, not endorsement. And the initiative doesn't reject age verification: it asks that proving you're over 18 shouldn't mean full identification. Many safeguards already exist for the EUDI Wallet. Should they become horizontal for any age-assurance system? My analysis: https://www.nicfab.eu/en/posts/eci-digital-id-age-verification/ #DigitalIdentity #AgeVerification #privacy

Microsoft is making passkeys the default authentication experience in Entra ID, while Google is expanding FIDO2 security key support for Workspace users on Windows—another step toward phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication. #Passkeys #Cybersecurity #DigitalIdentity

After five years, The Digital Identity Event Horizon is published in full today: three problem statements, ten key findings, and dozens of recommendations across policy, protocol, legal, and social contexts. It's the largest research study in New Design Congress' eight-year history: eight case studies, hundreds of citations, dozens of participants from government, intelligence, civil society, technology, and the field itself. It is also, without exaggeration, the most alarming body of work we have ever produced. The argument is straightforward and difficult to reckon with: Digital identity makes societies brittle. In 2026, we find ourselves in an era of digital identity fetishism: flawed age verification schemes, biometric and facial-recognition authenticators, and fragile state-backed identity programmes are rolling out at an unprecedented rate. And every one of them, whether current or emerging, remains vulnerable to social engineering. The success rate for a non-technical attack on a user is now three out of four. These attacks cost US companies an estimated $1.6 billion in the five years to 2017 alone; by 2024, fraud runs to hundreds of billions worldwide.
