Article in the Telegraph this week by Andrew Orlowski about this. Totally shocking. Here’s an excerpt….
The conceit that underlies digital ID is that, since millions of us are already being roped into a new digital identity system – Michael Gove’s One Login – then only a dab of legislation would be needed to complete the exercise. Labour wonks proposed rebranding a smartphone app called the GOV.UK Wallet, similar to your Apple or Google wallet.
This would be built on top of the One Login platform to hold various credentials like your driving license – so digital ID would be here before anyone really realised it. We would be boiled so quickly, we wouldn’t even realise we were in the pot.
Twelve million One Login identities have been created and it will be nearer 20 million by the end of the year as company officers are forcibly enrolled by Companies House, where it will be compulsory from Nov 18. This must have seemed very clever at the time – but the reality of One Login is that security guarantees to the public are worth nothing.
After civil service risk assessment professionals employed on the project reported to management that the system was being developed on unsecured workstations by contractors without the required security clearance in Romania, the management didn’t take the news well.
Rather than reassure the public, the senior leadership team at the Government Digital Service (GDS) was more concerned about reputation management. They disbanded the team which raised the concerns.
