The risk is high, as seen in recent hacks of biometric data, including 5 million high-resolution headshots leaked to the dark web and 1 billion people's biometric data compromised in India. With the proliferation of smart cameras and facial recognition algorithms, it's becoming increasingly difficult to opt out of having our biometric signature captured.
Our devices, from smartphones to smartwatches, are constantly tracking our movements and behaviors, creating a digital footprint that can be linked to our personal identities. This has led to a corporate surveillance state, where our data is being captured and tracked without our consent.
The consequences of biometric data hacks are severe, as we can't simply reset our 'body passwords' like we can with traditional passwords. It's essential to understand the risks and take action to protect our privacy. In the next article, I'll explore potential solutions to this growing problem.
