Home Office denies ID card hack claims

Posted on August 7, 2009July 3, 2025 by Dissent

As a follow-up to the story about the new UK national ID card being cloned in 12 minutes, what does the UK Home Office have to say? According to this story in IT Pro:

A spokesperson from the Home Office said: “This story is rubbish. We are satisfied the personal data on the chip cannot be changed or modified and there is no evidence this has happened.”

Well, then, I guess we can all just breathe a sigh of relief. It’s not like a government has ever denied something and was wrong, right?
