The payments industry, facing the risk of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and various types of credit card fraud, has begun incorporating various types of biometric technology to enhance security

because it affords a higher level of security against cyber attacks than other protection methods. The newfound availability of biometric technology for mobile and cloud-based platforms raises the security bar further.

The fact is that hackers have succeeded in using photographs to lift fingerprints and access personal accounts.

The notorious hacking group called the Chaos Computer Club even replicated the fingerprint of the German Defense Minister.
