EU AGE-VERIFICATION APP CRACKED IN TWO MINUTES

The age-verification application, designed to comply with EU digital regulations, contains a fundamental security weakness that allows users to bypass age checks without authentication. Researchers bypassed the verification process through a simple two-minute exploit, bypassing core identity verification mechanisms. The vulnerability exposes the app's inadequate security architecture ahead of its wider rollout across EU member states. Officials have not yet confirmed whether the flaw existed in testing phases or emerged post-deployment. In brief: Gym chain Life Time suffered a data breach affecting member records. Hotel operator IHG experienced a separate breach compromising customer information. Bluesky faced a significant DDoS attack disrupting service. Immigration enforcement agency ICE made controversial hires under unclear circumstances.
