But in doing so, the GDPR may have inadvertently made that same data more vulnerable to bad actors or identity thieves who surreptitiously take control of an EU citizen’s account, and make the request on their behalf. What’s more, the GDPR doesn’t make it easy for businesses to verify a consumer’s true identity.
