Is the 'peace sign' your favorite photo pose? Stop it right now, for the sake of your own safety...
Social media could be more of a threat in our lives, than it is pleasure to communicate and post pictures.
In a study conducted by the National Institute of Informatics in Japan, our fingerprints can be stolen from our pictures.
Yes, it sounds insane but it's true!
You only have to be at least three meters away from the camera and a hacker could easily steal your fingerprints.
"We shed physical biometric data wherever we go, leaving fingerprints on everything we touch , posting selfies, photographs and videos on social media of ourselves, family and friends. This information can be captured by fraudsters, resold to the 'Dark Web' and our identity can be stolen", said Robert Capps, who works for a biometric company.
Think twice before putting your fingers in the air for a pic!
