CCC fordert Notbremse für den Überwachungskatalog im Koalitionsvertrag

"CDU, CSU und SPD lassen alle Hemmungen fallen. Sie planen #Massenüberwachung auf gleich drei Ebenen: Telekommunikations-, Autokennzeichen- und #Biometriedaten. Die alten und neuen riesigen Datenhalden sollen mit „automatisierter Datenrecherche und -analyse“ durchkämmt werden dürfen. Staatliches #Hacken soll ebenfalls ausgeweitet werden.

Der Koalitionsvertrag, den die schwarz-schwarz-rote Regierung abschließen will, strotzt so vor Überwachungsvorhaben, dass jeder Einzelne betroffen sein wird.

Great to see our biometricians being recognised for their contributions to our organisation’s work! #biometry #statistics

Very interesting, palm identification, more reliable then iris identification, not trained on personal but synthetic data, if it works as advertised Amazon has made something great.

Researchers with the Chaos Computer Club bought items on eBay that turned out to have stored iris scans of 2,632 people, mostly from people living in Iraq and Afghanistan. But also data from members of the U.S. Army:

From the NYT:
"detailed descriptions of individuals in addition to their photograph and biometric data, could be enough to target people who were previously unknown to have worked with U.S. military forces should the information fall into the wrong hands"

NYT has a writeup here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/technology/for-sale-on-ebay-a-military-database-of-fingerprints-and-iris-scans.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuonUktbfqYhlSlUZBCbJUNMnqBqCgvfeh7I7nDrlJSyYDDFEiukfCpnF8gLIZK5ie9IpznGXTcNIOrY0Sbl1wKpRPkpiRhOwuJqChI9AKiM57IOpX3hzxJnEW6t-8SPvaiPxDtZD84CFnkDMNimsU7rCgTZnfFw79Y1mcln53X1YlLPHErV2xtV_2vs-D814FiNRbHXZ6KXoXxooa9-Wf1qLvFlNLuJcWTzTnNOd6atRM1kBTAKbEw4spDo0-9heO9gIPK3gLBBGecv2hbQZCGwAP57-TtRqBNCSz-M2xOaL_R-cy8O2xeE0FLFXvd7Gu2W9PVUuQNCGLdh1nu1h24vFimy7MldCiUA (the utm ensures you can read the article without subscription)

My former colleagues at BR have been working on this story for many months now. If you understand the German language, I encourage you to listen to their hourlong feature on #biometry https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/ard-radiofeature/verraeterische-daten-doku-ueber-die-gefahren-der-biometrie/ard/12204469/ It includes the case of the military database but much more as well
