Open Standards Pioneer: 153M-License Honeypot Was Preventable a Decade Ago
csuwildcat · x · 2026-09-03
csuwildcat, who helped develop the open identity standards, vented that tech he co-built 10 years ago would have prevented the 153 million driver's license honeypot breach and solves the agent-to-human proof problem — yet companies ignored the standards while these failures predictably exploded.
His core argument: centrally pooled license databases are a natural attack surface; verifiable-credential-based decentralized identity could verify without stockpiling sensitive data.
