Biometric Security: More Risk than Reward
By Editorial Team on Feb 4, 2020 1:57:00 PM
Using biometrics for authentication has always been a source of controversy. At face value, it seems like a fool-proof way to authenticate users. Everyone has unique fingerprints, right?

Not long ago, someone began ordering rides and then contacting the drivers via phone. This is possible given that rideshare applications offer up the driver’s phone number once a ride is hailed. The fraudster would spoof the calling number to look like it came from the rideshare HQ and then tell the driver to cancel their ride with “Mark,” which the driver recognized as the passenger’s name, and pull over.
