Hackers Publish German Minister's Fingerprint | Threat Level from Wired.com
by Decius at 9:12 am EDT, Apr 1, 2008 |
To demonstrate why using fingerprints to secure passports is a bad idea, the German hacker group Chaos Computer Club has published what it says is the fingerprint of Wolfgang Schauble, Germany's interior minister. According to CCC, the print of Schauble's index finger was lifted from a water glass that he used during a panel discussion that he participated in last year at a German university. CCC published the print on a piece of plastic inside 4,000 copies of its magazine Die Datenschleuder that readers can use to impersonate the minister to biometric readers.
Good Job! |

Good Job!
They should be arrested for impersonating the interior minister's fingertip, and YOU, Mr. Cross, should be pegged for aiding and abetting. |
