Security Issues in the EU Age Verification Application
April 17, 2026
The EU's age verification application has serious security gaps. Experts managed to breach it in less than two minutes, revealing that it stores sensitive data without adequate protection. Biometric security mechanisms can be bypassed, allowing minors to use the app with adults' devices. Despite these revelations, the Commission insists that the app is ready for use, although it acknowledges that improvements are needed. The application aims to verify age online through reliable sources.
