You verify your age on an app, scan your face, upload your licence, and assume that is all that happens. A quick check, data deleted, move on. But security researchers have just exposed Persona's source code - left unprotected on a government-certified server - and what they found goes well beyond checking birthdays.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ How Persona's source code ended up exposed on a public FedRAMP-certified server - and why this was not a hack

✅ The 269 distinct verification checks the system is capable of running, from facial recognition to watchlist screening

✅ Intelligence programme code names found in the code, including Project Shadow and Project Legion

✅ Why centralised biometric databases are honeypots - and the pattern of breaches that proves it

✅ What Australia's new age verification laws mean when the companies involved keep failing to secure your data

✅ Practical steps to protect yourself, your family, and your business right now

If you use any platform that required age verification, this one is worth your time.
