I believe that nobody's ID will be at risk of leaking, because it will never be handled in the first place, nor will it be accessed. So that's already better than most of the schemes people are upset about.

What happened there? I can't find a lot of reference to it on the net other than "we make amazing security products" and then "entering liquidation", so clearly a lot went wrong!

It's always possible for people to make mistakes and do things badly, but I don't see "age verification" as some special case in the identity landscape that presents unique challenges. And the system is already in use without major issue (touch wood). Verifiable Credentials will be an addition to the platform at some point.
