  On used U.S. military equipment, we discovered, among other things, an unprotected biometrics database containing names, fingerprints, iris scans, and photographs of more than 2,600 Afghans and Iraqis.
  Back in 2007, a member of the U.S. military warned of a similar biometric database in Iraq: "This database... becomes a hit list if it gets in the wrong hands."
  The extracted data was all the more impressive: The various devices shopped online contained names and biometric data of two U.S. military personnel, GPS coordinates of past deployment locations, and a massive biometrics database with names, fingerprints, iris scans and photos of 2,632 people.

  Sensational and misleading as fuck.
  CCC didn't 'capture' it - which implies it was stolen by them - they found it being sold, reported it to the U.S., and then bought it themselves to prove it when the U.S. didn't do anything about it 😒 Do I 'capture' my neighbor's trashcan when I pick it back up after it gets blown over by the wind? >
  
  And this is why holding this information is a fucking terrible idea... >
  
  Nobody ever thinks anymore >
  
  This is the most out of touch, delusional bullshit Ive ever seen. If people in the past considered what they were doing the world would be in a much better place. I hope you seriously spend a few years trying to learn the basics of the world around you before you continue to embarrass yourself with this takes.
