Introduction Biometric technology has revolutionized security, offering seamless authentication through fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scans. However, as adoption grows, so do risks. Unlike passwords, biometric data is inherently tied to your physical identity—once stolen, it cannot be reset. This article explores the vulnerabilities of biometric systems, real-world consequences of breaches, and actionable mitigation strategies. Understanding Biometric Data Biometric data refers to unique biological traits used for identification. Common types include: Fingerprints : Ridge patterns on fingertips. Facial Recognition : Measurements of facial features. Iris Scans : Unique patterns in the colored eye ring. Voiceprints : Vocal characteristics. Biometrics are considered secure due to their uniqueness, but this permanence also makes them high-value targets for cybercriminals. How Biometric Data Is Stored and Secured Most systems convert biometric data into encrypted templates stor...
