The significant breach and vulnerabilities recently discovered by vpnMentor researchers within Suprema’s BioStar 2 database are enough to scare any potential end-user away from biometric security measures, according to Frost & Sullivan security expert Danielle VanZandt.
VanZandt said that with more than a million fingerprint biometrics and user passwords exposed in the breach, BioStar 2 had become the first significant example of how biometric access still has its vulnerabilities that vendors, integrators, and end-users must be aware of before implementing any of these solutions within their organisation, she said
