- Well, I don't know what he was thinking, but now he has time to think. He'll obviously be fired from his job. At least that's what I'd advise.

Oddly enough, this is exactly the stoSecurity Tales: Biometrics Compromise
Vladimir Bezmaly | 29.11.2017
The morning was sunny but cold. Apparently there was frost at night. However, Johann likes this kind of weather much more than endless rain and wind. The walk to the office did not take long. Although even these 15 minutes helped him collect his thoughts. And there was a lot to think about. Yesterday's call from the Department of Foreign Affairs did not leave his mind. What a thing to happen. On Johann's orders, Max and Rita are flying to the friendly Republic of I today.

So, most likely the fingerprint database has been compromised. This means that those users whose data has been compromised will no longer be able to use their biometric data.

- Rita, what's up with you? How was your flight? How were you greeted?

- Yes, everything is fine, thank you! A graduate of our own Academy met us here. He still remembers your lectures. He asked me to send him his regards and said that he would definitely send us a case of some special liqueur made from elephant berries. He says that he still remembers that you liked it!

ry of the leak of data from the US Department of Justice that happened in February 2016. Only the access code was given by the FBI operator. And again we are faced with the fact that the weakest link is a person, not technology.
