Is there any way to check if your ID was compromised without going on some onion site?I don't know if it even matters. I always assumed every bit of my information was available somewhere. Just curious.I think IDScan should set something up so we can check if our data was compromised, at the least.

KYC = kill your customerIt's time for us to stop pretending that YC checks do anything except provide an illusion of security while putting people's living in danger.AI makes it trivial to generate fake documents, so most KYC checks can't actually be trusted to verify your identity.
