Whistleblowers raise ‘extreme’ concern about security of government’s Digital ID | ITV News

The whistleblowers, who have shared confidential documents and emails with ITV News to back up their claims, are senior civil servants involved in the development of the One Login technology, which will form the basis of Digital ID.

One of the civil servants fears the problems could lead to “the worst data breach in UK government history”.
