NHS COVID App Data Leak, Universal Identification Concerns
A data leak from the UK's National Health Service (NHS) revealed that its COVID-19 app was designed to collect extensive personal information, including sexuality, occupation, and vehicle registration. Although the information was briefly posted and then removed from a government website, it was preserved on the Wayback Machine. This incident has fueled concerns about the long-term goal of implementing a universal digital identification and tracking system.
