  1. Just got an email from my gym saying they’re changing the access system in just five days to require a fingerprint. 🤯

    The email was super casual about it. No real info on why it’s needed, where the biometric data is stored, how long it’s kept, or whether there’s an alternative.

    Is this normal?!

    I sent them a friendly email asking for more details.

  6. Yes, use biometric access...

    Just don't forget to change your face or fingerprint after a breach.

    The Ghost knows: you can reset a password. Not your skin.
