@capitainesam So maybe you combine biometrics with password/passkey?
One of the foundational stories of cyberpunk illustrated a defense against biometrics fraud. The hackers targeted a victim that used fingerprint login. They managed to get a copy of the victim's fingerprint and used it.
Then the victim's security system kicked in - because the victim always deliberately *failed* the first finger login and used their *second* finger login...
@dancingtreefrog @capitainesam I'm curious and a fan of cyberpunk... What book are you referring to?

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solvedWhen your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases foreverThis is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.
Just say No to Biometric Identity Verification

@vrek @capitainesam I seem to recall that it was William Gibson's Neuromancer; the incident that lead to the main character's nervous system being crippled by the Russian mafia. But it's been awhile since I read it, I could be mistaken.

@capitainesam until you start abusing billionaires biometric data, nothing will ever happen... Even then only use of theirs will be quickly outlawed.

@capitainesam also, those biometric data will inevitably be leaked. One glimmer of hope is that bit rot will render them useless over time

@capitainesam Is it's actually biometric data, it's also tied to the algorithm used to calculate it. Too often, though, companies don't just store the biometric data, but the raw data such as an image of your face. They should not be doing that.

Depends on your climate - here in Scotland is is often just a matter of hours before the wind changes. #Folklaw

@dancingtreefrog @capitainesam ngl i wish of a registring a fingerprint which instead of unlock would just block it completely.

@capitainesam Thanks for the reminder; I'm overdue to rotate my retinas for this quarter.
@manchicken@defcon.social @capitainesam@mastodon.social remember to change the colour too!
