The Lie That Is Digital Identity: How Governments and Corporations are Profiting from Our Data
In the supposedly "digital age", governments and corporations are peddling the notion that digital identity is the key to efficiency and security. But at what cost? The reality is that digital identity systems are a ticking time bomb, waiting to unleash a tidal wave of identity theft, fraud, and invasion of privacy.
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
The concept of digital identity is nothing more than a clever marketing ploy, designed to make you feel safe and secure in a world where your online activities are constantly being tracked and monitored. But scratch beneath the surface, and you’ll find a sinister game of cat and mouse, where your personal data is the ultimate prize.
The Risks Are Real
According to iiDENTIFii’s Lance Fanaroff, the biggest risk is a cybercriminal posing as your likeness to gain access to your money or data. This is known as a presentation attack, where the bad guys "spoof" your facial, voice, or fingerprint characteristics to wreak havoc on your online life. And if that’s not enough, digital injection attacks are also a real and present danger, where cybercriminals intercept the digital authentication process to steal your identity and ruin your life.
A Recipe for Disaster
The South African Banking Risk Information Centre (Sabric) has warned that the home affairs process for developing a digital identity for citizens is still in its infancy, and that it has a long way to go before it can even begin to address the very real risks associated with digital identity. But will governments and corporations listen? Don’t hold your breath.
The Truth is, Digital Identity is a Mirage
The notion that digital identity is the solution to all our problems is nothing more than a myth perpetuated by those who stand to profit from our data. The reality is that digital identity is a ticking time bomb, waiting to unleash a wave of identity theft, fraud, and invasion of privacy on an unsuspecting public.
Don’t Get Left Behind
Stay informed, stay vigilant, and don’t let the governments and corporations control your data. The truth is, digital identity is a myth, and it’s up to us to expose the lie and take back our lives.
