Perilous Posts: The Risks of Biometric Patterns Exposed in Social Media
summary
Shows that millions of social posts supply reusable biometrics: faces, irises, fingerprints, voice and gait, and that a photograph of a fingerprint or a short TikTok clip is often enough to enroll or spoof accounts. Demonstrations include a documented method to lift a fingerprint from an image and fabricate a silicone pad, an iris synthetic-eye trick made with a mousepad and a drop of water that passes sensors, and underground ads hiring deepfake wallet takeovers to breach exchanges, enabling mass initial registration fraud.
