Fake UK Visa Site Leaks 100k Passport, Selfie Data

A website named UK Visa Portal has been exposed for leaking the personal information, including passports and selfies, of at least 100,000 applicants seeking U.K. immigration visas. The leak was reported to TechCrunch by an anonymous source, confirming that the website, which is not affiliated with the U.K. government, improperly manages user data. Some users have unintentionally paid fees to the site instead of the official GOV.UK site. TechCrunch has verified the authenticity of the leaked data by contacting affected individuals.
