Step 1: get Estonian e-citizenship by giving them your fingerprint to keep in their centralized database
Step 2: NSA, GCHQ, Russia and China steal the whole fingerprint database, which includes your fingerprint
Step 3: Now your iPhone/Android phone that uses fingerprint reader is vulnerable to hacking
- retroam 12y agoFrom personal experience, the US has been fingerprinting non-US nationals at the airports for a decade now. So NSA has had such a database for a significant time. However, I still doubt they have figured out to hack the iPhone using said database. But this is just my personal opinion...
- vinay427 12y agoMinor nitpick, but as Canada is not part of the US visa waiver program, Canadian citizens are also exempt from fingerprinting when entering the US.
