Inquiry ongoing after UK government hacked, says minister

UK newborns are issued a 10 digit NHS number that is tied to healthcare and no other domains.
Merging this process into a unique 'cradle to grave' unique identifier that imitates both Estonian and Indian models is an affront to British society, our values, and it must be buried immediately.
If the UK Government really cared about the welfare of newborns and their parents, they would not introduce such a system that would be an open invitation for cybercriminals, also considering how high the UK ranks in Europe and the rest of the world when it comes to cybersecurity incidents.

More proof that the UK state will not be able to safely run a National Digital ID system.
Ministry of Justice outdated legal aid IT systems remain vulnerable to cyberattacks even after a £50m investment prior to a breach first identified in April 2025.
We've highlighted the Legal Aid Agency data breach on more than more occasion.
It was revealed to the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) that the attackers first accessed the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) system as early as December 2024.
National ID of non-UK applicants as well as their partners also ended up in the stolen tranche dating back to 2007.

So let's get this straight...
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) can order deletion of an incredibly important archive within days or weeks, but cannot adequately protect their systems from data-breaches, which still remain vulnerable.
The Legal Aid Agency data-breach occurred in December 2024 but only discovered in April 2025 after an already £50m investment and where data was accessed going back to 2007.
It's a wonder how any UK citizen could trust the State to properly build and run a modern National Digital ID system.

🆔 GOV.UK One Login to be rolled out to new HMRC customers and in time, those who're already using the Government Gateway with an alphanumeric username & password.
ℹ️ Basically, if you've been using the Government Gateway for years to conduct your Self Assessment, the State and HMRC will soon want to take away that choice and push you to re-enroll using the One Login digital ID verification process which would also capture a facial biometric as well as other device identifiers.
✊ The State are drawing the net in fast. The fight continues.

The other problem here is that Persona's privacy policy is very broad and murky.
Data holds could be 7, 30 days, three years or 'indefinite'.
Even if EU/UK-GDPR can be enforced on them as a processor, there's no guarantee that fragments/logs of biometric data could be stored in other servers under other countries jurisdiction.

🇬🇧 ON THIS DAY: 21 February 1952, the Health Minister, Harry Crookshank, announced the end of the National Registration Act (1939), meaning that UK citizens would no longer have to carry an ID card.
✊ The man whose quiet defiance led to that change was called Clarence “Harry” Willcock.
❌ The National Registration Act (1939) was later repealed in May of that year by the Churchill government.
ℹ️ You can learn more about what happened [below] with Willcock and his case that shifted the British mindset about the State and identity:
