This is being called one of the most dangerous security breaches that has ever happened, and it is even worse, because no one has any idea what the hackers intend to do with the fingerprints.
All of our other data, passwords, even social security numbers can be replaced. Our fingerprints are a permanent part of a person, and there is no way to replace them.
The closest we ever come to that is people who have removed their fingerprints with abrasive of some kind.
Since the government security officials have no idea what the fingerprints might be used for in a cyber attack; it is hard for them to know just what they have to do to protect against it.
