A hotel check-in platform used by several hotels in Japan exposed more than 1 million sensitive customer records, including passports, driver’s licenses, and selfie verification photos, after a cloud storage system was left publicly accessible on the internet without password protection.
The affected system, called Tabiq, is operated by Japan-based startup Reqrea. The platform uses facial recognition and document scanning technology to automate hotel guest check-ins.
Yeah I forsee no obvious issues with this.
No. No. NO. This is NOT cool.
The scalpers and the whole speculative bullshit over collectible cards is one kind of nonsense...
...But what a stupid future it will be when you're forced to get face-scanned for freaking everything, and the retort that permitted this everyday Orwellian nightmare was "WeLL iT wOrKeD iN jApAn FoR PoKeMoN cArDs."
