The kind of people looking for epona porn could now clone an rfid chip and go through a passport gate as me.

So if I cancel it I'm fucked. Trying to determine the risk.

Do I risk it and do nothing? This is literally the worst possible way I could fuck up posting porn on the internet. I feel sick.
just ignore it until something happens and them claim you were hacked.
I doubt anything will happen
You're so fucked.

Time for a new passport, friend, and yes, you should report it as lost
>>60270930
To replace it I would need a countersignature of a professional (banker etc) who has known me personally for two years. I don't know anyone who could do it and believe me I've thought hard.
>>60270912
Fucking kek that's what you get for not being more careful with sensitive data
You actually heavily fucked up by posting here
I guarentee you not a single person who downloaded those files knew or cared what they were, until you just made this post that might reach them about what they have
Report the passport as stolen and delete this thread
>>60270912
>lazily named "ep"

I'm going by the "recognised professions" list which lists airline pilot, bank official, etc. I do see that it lists "a person of good standing in their community" but if they accept anyone like that then what's the point of listing the professions?
>>60270956
Like I said anon, it is kind of obvious what they are when seen in context. At the very least it's obvious that it's some kind of ID data.
>>60270912
In a lot of countries if you still physically have the old passport and it's not expired you can personally go into the passport office and trade it in for a replacement
>>60271250
OH SHIT there's an idea.
A renewal does not need signed and strictly speaking the old one does not need to be expired to renew it.
it's still valid for many years though so they would find it suspicious. Maybe I could claim I just want to change the photo or something.
But I don't know if just doing that without reporting the old one lost would be enough to properly block it?

So Jamal doesn't come with the schizo who calls everyone a nigger
>>60271323
hey nigger
>>60270912
that's actually quite impressive
you managed to accidentally your passport while uploading porn
i mean, wow
i'd get it invalidated, might be a pita, but not as much as if something actually did happen with that data
lesson learned, ALWAYS start with a new, black, properly labelled folder when organizing shit!
