Can your identity, biometrics, and your privacy get hacked? — Identity Theft Awareness

We believe in the myth that only traditional password systems can be hacked. But, the fact is, even your face and fingerprints are hackable!

Your identity represents the entire you. It represents your presence in all your activities along. So, if identity is something that only you carry in this world, can it be theft? Can someone take your identity and be you? And if yes, how dangerously can it harm you?

People still have the misconception that biometric authentication such as Touch ID or Face ID can replace traditional passwords and that it could be used to protect valuable information. However, this is far from what the truth is. Biometric is just something we use to convenience the machine about the existence of our identity.

Remember that if your password gets public during any data breaches it could be changed but if the same thing happens with biometric then you can’t change your identity, your fingerprint or your face and that’s when real trouble begins!!
