Now: how about the European Union wanting digital national identity cards to be used to log into Facebook?
Okta says the quiet part out loud: the goal of (all) digital identity systems is to lock people in so that they are under control; “Lock in their loyalty,” indeed

Okta: Breach Affected All Customer Support Users

(Excuse me for not rooting back in the past to see if you linked to this.)

When KrebsOnSecurity broke the news on Oct. 20, 2023 that identity and authentication giant Okta had suffered a breach in its customer support department, Okta said the intrusion allowed hackers to steal sensitive data from fewer than one percent of its 18,000+ customers. But today, Okta revised that impact statement, saying the attackers also stole the name and email address for nearly all of its customer support users.
As you can see, they and many others, do NOT deserve to control my “identity.”
We’re “locked in” like whatever Adobe is doing to corrupt the web, but then they completely loose control of everything when “nearly all” of their customers data.
