It has to be said when Harriet Harman has privacy concerns (she of the Labour party push for ID cards) you have to wonder.

[Flaws] include:

• weaknesses in the registration process that could allow attackers to steal encryption keys, which would allow them to prevent users being notified if a contact tested positive for Covid-19 and/or generate spoof transmissions to create logs of bogus contact events
• storing unencrypted data on handsets that could potentially be used by law enforcement agencies to determine when two or more people met
• generating a new random ID code for users once a day rather than once every 15 minutes as is the case in a rival model developed by Google and Apple. The longer gap theoretically makes it possible to determine if a user is having an affair with a work colleague or meeting someone after work, it is suggested
