If there is no provable link between the service and the identity, however, there isn't that much harm in the leak itself. It just becomes a list of names and ages which are a dime a dozen on the internet. Hell, if the identity service was the government itself then it would be entirely useless outside of getting a list of people who have a driver's license (is this public info already?)

In the Google and Apple systems you have to load your driver's license and all its contents and then your phone issues a proof of age. However a bug could leak the entire contents.
