- tmottabr 5y agothey might, but likely not with a resolution good enough to allow then to actually extract an useful fingerprint.. specially not after social media resize and convert the image a thousand times. also, fingerprint is not the only security, you still need physical access to the yubikey to use it, something a russian hacker also will have a hard time having..
- wnevets 5y agohow does a Russian hacker having a picture of my fingerprint allow them to use my Yubikey to unlock my account?
- tinus_hn 5y agoSimilarly you could say iPhones with Touch ID are terrible because phones are full of fingerprints. Yet it turns out people who want to crack them attack the pincodes or the general security of the device, not the fingerprints.
