The UK government’s Companies House has a security issue.

Companies House was made aware of a security issue which meant that a logged-in user of our WebFiling service could potentially access and change some elements of another company’s details without their consent after performing a specific set of actions.

While the hack may or may not be due to the use of the digital ID scheme, it does not bode well for a government that wants to introduce digital IDs across its entire population. If it cannot secure its infrastructure.
