face recognition software and fingerprint data compromised

Earlier this month, the research team that discovered the breach found that they were able to access 27.8 million records via a publicly available database. This information included more than one million fingerprint records, as well as facial recognition data.

“Once stolen, fingerprint and facial recognition information cannot be retrieved,” said the vpnMentor report. “An individual will potentially be affected for the rest of their lives.”
