Have you recently crossed the international border between the United States and Canada?
If so, there’s a chance that hackers could now be in possession of photos of your face and your car’s license plate.
The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency has just announced that one of the contractors that supplies facial recognition cameras for use at border crossings has been hacked, and the hack resulted in about 100,000 border-crossers having their photos and license plate numbers stolen.
In case you’re wondering what mischief the hackers can do with that very limited amount of information, the answer is a lot.
