EU Age Verification App Leaves Biometric Images Unencrypted on Devices - tech
(hx) 12:36 AM CEST - Apr,16 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Security consultant Paul Moore has exposed a major privacy flaw in the EU's open-source age verification app, which Ursula von der Leyen claimed meets the world's highest privacy standards. The app saves raw biometric data—including lossless PNG images from NFC passport scans and user selfies—directly to the device filesystem without encryption, deleting them only on successful processing. Failures, crashes, retries, or user abandonment leave these sensitive files lingering in cache or external storage, protected solely by basic Android keys.

Only the final "is_over_18" result receives AES-GCM encryption, prompting serious questions about GDPR compliance for special category biometric data retained without clear lawful basis.

This makes you wonder who is training and supervising those next Gen IT professionals. This isn’t games they are playing but real peoples lives and once again…. Android :roll: costs again factor into this.
