The tech company that maintains the hotel check-in system set its cloud storage to public, allowing anyone to access customers' data without a password.
No. A properly managed eid system like the EU digital wallet would be better.
You would not hand over any document to the hotel. They would ask the central authority server if you are who you claim. You would get a prompt to confirm that you allow the hotel to confirm your identity. The server would respond, yes you are indeed that person. End of transaction.
No data would be left to whatever security standard (or lack there of) that the hotel has. No critical documents stored on their end.
Laws requiring Hotels identify their guests. This is a requirement for several reasons.
Some of which are visa requirements for foreign visitors, making it harder to use fake guests to launder money, in addition to several other uses of hotels by criminals (including prostitution) leaving a paper trail for authorities to follow up on.
Been awhile since I have been to the EU, that sounds like something stupid they would do. I imagine it would be France and Germany mostly.
Several countries I have been to recently I haven’t even talked to anyone at the hotel, which is nice. I don’t have to see the front desk at all, and the bell hop doesn’t care.
Again, why can’t I just pay and stay? It may be laws, but I am sick of this bullshit. People should be able to travel without state violence used against them.
And as we can see here, gathering information by the hotel is a horrible idea.
