Biometric authentication could be an Achilles heel for Metaverse security

Trend Micro , a global cybersecurity leader , has released a new report , Leaked Today , Exploited for Life : How Social Media Biometric Patterns Affect , warning that exposed biometric data creates a serious authentication risk across a wide range of digital scenarios , including the Metaverse .

William Malik , Vice President of Infrastructure Strategies at Trend Micro , said : “ The use of biometrics is championed by some as a more secure , easier-to-use alternative for passwords . However , unlike passwords , our features can ’ t be easily changed . So , a compromise could have a long-lasting impact on users . Hijacking a user ’ s Metaverse profile in the future could be similar to gaining complete access to their PC .”
As outlined in the report , threat actors in the future may be able to use stolen or leaked biometric data to trick connected devices , such as VR / AR headsets , into logging them in as someone else . That could open the door to data theft , fraud and extortion .
Trend Micro ’ s report is intended to generate more dialogue in the IT and security community about how to head off such potential risks . It warns that huge volumes of biometric details , including face , voice , iris , palm and fingerprint patterns , are already being exposed online in high enough quality to trick authentication systems . p
