China’s Ministry of National Security Sounds Alarm: Biometric Recognition Tech Poses Hidden Dangers

Facial scans, fingerprint IDs, and retina tracking—China’s security apparatus just dropped a bombshell warning about the dark side of biometrics.

Your Body Is Not a Password

The Ministry of National Security flagged 'severe risks' in the tech that’s already plastered across airports, smartphones, and even crypto KYC checks. No specifics given—just a vague nod to 'malicious exploitation.' Convenient timing, given the recent $2B biometrics market boom (funded by the same venture capitalists who brought you 'secure' blockchain solutions).

Zero Trust, Zero Surprise

Active countermeasures? None listed. But the subtext screams louder than a decentralized exchange during a flash crash: maybe don’t trade your irises for convenience. Meanwhile, crypto wallets still demand selfies—because nothing says 'financial sovereignty' like uploading your face to a centralized database.
