UK Passport troubles… again! Posted on August 7, 2008 by Robin So after having had 3000 new blank ‘unbreakable’ passports stolen during delivery from the truck, they’ve (well, specifically, Jeroen van Beek of the UvA) now discovered that the passports can be cloned and altered (eg. have digital images inserted on them or other different biometrics, such as thumbprints, eyeprints) within a few minutes. The fraudulent passports are verified as ‘real’ by the official software and equipment used to verify them.
