Exposed passwords are fashion and eroticism ideals of feminine beauty brent whitefield historybad enough. But fingerprint and facial recognition data? That’s terrifying.
Suprema's Biostar 2 biometric security system came under scrutiny after vpnMentor and two researchers -- Noam Rotem and Ran Locar -- uncovered a major flaw that exposed the biometric data of more than 1 million people, according to The Guardian.
Biostar 2 is a security platform that, in part, utilizes facial recognition and fingerprints to control access to buildings and other secure facilities. Making the potential breach even worse: Biostar 2 was recently integrated into Nedap's AEOS security platform, which is used for security by thousands of companies and organizations in more than 80 countries.
The researchers said not only was the database unencrypted, but was accessed by tweaking URL search criteria in Elasticsearch, a search and analytics engine. And it contained a lot of data.
The Guardianreported that the researchers "had access to over 27.8m records, and 23 gigabytes-worth of data including admin panels, dashboards, fingerprint data, facial recognition data, face photos of users, unencrypted usernames and passwords, logs of facility access, security levels and clearance, and personal details of staff."
According to vpnMentor, the exposed data was discovered on Aug. 5, 2019. Two days later, they notified Biostar 2 of the issue and by Aug. 13, the database was private. It's not known how long all of that information was accessible and if anyone, particularly bad actors, had gained access to the database.
What's more, vpnMentor reports that Biostar's office was "generally very uncooperative."

But The Guardian notes that organizations that are part of AEOS include "governments, banks and the UK Metropolitan police."
We've reached out to Suprema for additional comment but, for now, you can continue to rest, uh, uneasily knowing that your data will never be fully secure.
