They thought of that, but they were still working on hiring a team to maintain the hashing microservice.
Hashing microservice deployment was blocked by random generator microservice stuck in Pending because it needed an UUID from UUID microservice which was blocked by hashing.

already laughing from parent comment this is well done
one hash is insufficent, they need k-hashes.

i get the joke, but seriously a bloomfilter would be a good idea.
