Summary
A shady third-party site called UK Visa Portal is leaking passport scans and selfies of people who paid them for UK visas — and it’s not even affiliated with the government. TechCrunch confirmed the leak, verified victims, and tried to alert the company — but got only legal and PR responses, no real management. The security flaw remains unpatched, so they’re warning the public: skip the middleman and go straight to the UK government’s official site for your visa.
