Huge data leak exposed the biometric data of MILLIONS of people

A security firm is warning millions of users that a vast data breach has exposed their biometric information - including fingerprints and facial scans. The private data was found on a free to access site and contained sensitive information on a system used by banks and the police as well as thousands of other firms. It is currently unknown as to the extent of the leak but security researchers are warning it could have devastating repercussions if it falls into the wrong hands. A total of 23 gigabytes of data was found to be at risk, totalling nearly 30 million records. Security company Suprema is the firm which owns the software at fault which is often used to access secure facilities with fingerprints or facial recognition.
