– The Chinese MSS warns that foreign companies use cryptographic tokens to attract users to share IRIS data, risk confidentiality and national security.
– IRIS data, once compromised, cannot be modified, allowing identity theft and unauthorized access.
– Foreign companies can require IRIS analyzes during KYC processes to obtain tokens, which increases the abusive data concerns.
– Collection of biometric data not authorized by foreign entities could allow spying or cyber attacks, threatening national interests.
– MSS advises users to examine the terms of the platform, to check the legitimacy of the company and to avoid sharing sensitive biometric information.
