It Takes 2 Minutes to Hack the EU’s New Age-Verification App

The European Commission’s new age-verification app was quickly found to have serious security flaws.

Researchers said weak PIN handling could let attackers take over a user profile in under two minutes.

The issue raises privacy and data-breach risks for an app meant to verify ages on social and adult-content sites.

A broken system could also undermine the EU’s broader push to enforce age checks online.
