Kaspersky spoke about the situation with the security of biometric data

“There have not been such massive examples of obvious hacking of biometrics over the past year.

But I think that this is not due to the fact that it (biometrics. -

) is unbreakable, because until now unbreakable technologies did not exist.

I think that they do not exist, ”she said.

In her opinion, the fact that there was no mass hacking of biometrics is explained by the fact that banks that use the payment system by a person set limits on the amount of money.

“The cost of extracting this data and substituting it is still higher than those limits,” she said.

Kaspersky believes that the substitution of biometrics can become widespread under two conditions.

“The first event is the removal of limits by banks, that is, the ability to pay with any amount, and the second is that this service should become widespread.

That is, relatively speaking, it is necessary to remove biometrics from all citizens of the country, ”she said.

In September, the head of the State Duma's Financial Market Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, proposed making mandatory the procedure for collecting biometric data when foreign citizens open bank accounts.
