    Yeah the tech industry's answer to the password problem, replace it with something that cant be changed after it is compromised. This is just insideous.
    No one is going to tell me the industry didnt think that far ahead when they pushed biometric authentication on the masses. They knew exactly what would happen and when people realize their thumbprint scan data has probably been stolen what are they supposed to do? It's not like they can cut it off and get a new one.
