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

# EU's New Age-Verification App Has a Major Security Problem The European Union created a new app to verify people's ages online, but security researchers found it can be bypassed in just two minutes—meaning minors could potentially access age-restricted content they shouldn't. This is a significant embarrassment for regulators who promoted the tool as a privacy-friendly solution, since it suggests the system wasn't thoroughly tested before launch. The discovery raises questions about whether other government tech projects have similar hidden vulnerabilities.
