Major #breach found in #biometrics system used by banks, UK police and defense firms https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/aug/14/major-breach-found-in-biometrics-system-used-by-banks-uk-police-and-defence-firms … Instead of saving a hash of the fingerprint, they reportedly stored the actual fingerprint.
