Data Breaches Involving Biometric Data

 

Cybercriminals have begun targeting biometric data, including facial recognition, fingerprints, and iris scans, which are often used for high-security authentication. As more organizations adopt biometric authentication methods, the risk of these highly sensitive datasets being exposed grows.

Unlike passwords, biometric data cannot be changed once compromised, making it a high-value target for hackers and posing significant privacy and security risks.
