by thousands of companies around the world <\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"story-body__introduction\">More than a million fingerprints and other sensitive data have been exposed online by a biometric security firm, researchers say.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers working with cyber-security firm VPNMentor say they accessed data from a security tool called Biostar 2.<\/p>\n<p>It is used by thousands of companies worldwide, including the UK&#8217;s Metropolitan Police, to control access to specific parts of secure facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Suprema, the firm that offers Biostar 2, said it was addressing the issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If there has been any definite threat on our products and\/or services, we will take immediate actions and make appropriate announcements to protect our customers&#8217; valuable businesses and assets,&#8221; a company spokesman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2019\/aug\/14\/major-breach-found-in-biometrics-system-used-by-banks-uk-police-and-defence-firms\" class=\"story-body__link-external\">told the Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to VPNMentor, the exposed data, discovered on 5 August, was made private on 13 August. <\/p>\n<p>It is not clear how long it was accessible.<\/p>\n<p>As well as fingerprint records, the researchers say they found photographs of people, facial recognition data, names, addresses, passwords, employment history and records of when they had accessed secure areas.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"story-body__unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/technology-34346802\" class=\"story-body__link\">Millions of fingerprints stolen in US government hack<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-asia-india-42575443\" class=\"story-body__link\">&#8216;Leak&#8217; in world&#8217;s biggest database worries Indians<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since news of the data exposure broke, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zackwhittaker\/status\/1161721090684665857\" class=\"story-body__link-external\">some have questioned the extent<\/a> to which real fingerprint data was made available. <\/p>\n<p>However, the cyber-security researchers say they stand by their research. <\/p>\n<p>Suprema said in a statement to the BBC it was aware of reports of the breach and was taking them &#8220;very seriously&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Suprema] is investigating the allegations in the press reports and will liaise with any appropriate third parties and\/or individuals as necessary. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this stage, it cannot make any further comment but will, if appropriate, issue a further press statement in due course, including corrections of any erroneous assertions in the reports to date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the UK organisations directly affected by the breach was Tile Mountain, a homeware retailer.<\/p>\n<p>Biostar 2 was only used at the company&#8217;s head office in Stoke on Trent, IT director Colin Hampson said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that since 26 February 2018 Tile Mountain had not been an &#8220;active client&#8221; of Suprema&#8217;s and had instead stored biometric data on its own secure internal servers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite Tile Mountain not being an active client of Suprema it is concerning that no contact was made to inform us that data may have been compromised &#8211; this could potentially have prevented Tile Mountain from carrying out its obligations under GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation],&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body__crosshead\">Suprema &#8216;hung up&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s crazy, just crazy,&#8221; Noam Rotem, one of the researchers who found the data, told the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that biometric information such as fingerprints could never be made private again once lost.<\/p>\n<p>He said he and his colleagues had had difficulty when trying to report the exposed data to Suprema.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We started calling all of the offices one by one and had to deal with people just hanging up the phone,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 23 gigabytes of data containing nearly 30 million records were found exposed online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This could be used in a wide range of criminal activities that would be disastrous for both the businesses and organisations affected, as well as their employees or clients,&#8221; said VPNMentor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/report-biostar2-leak\/\" class=\"story-body__link-external\">in a blog about the discovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-landscape has-caption full-width\"><span class=\"image-and-copyright-container\"> <span class=\"off-screen\">Image copyright<\/span> <span class=\"story-image-copyright\">Getty Images<\/span> <\/span><figcaption class=\"media-caption\"><span class=\"off-screen\">Image caption<\/span> <span class=\"media-caption__text\"> Among the leaked data were facial recognition records and photographs of people <\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The data leak was &#8220;horrendous&#8221;, according to Simon Birchall, managing director for Timeware, a British firm that installs Suprema fingerprint readers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Birchall said Timeware had developed its own software for the devices and did not provide Biostar 2 to clients.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It looks like someone has taken the standard Biostar 2 product and installed it on an open network,&#8221; he told the BBC. &#8220;It&#8217;s just silly what they&#8217;ve done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body__crosshead\">Police checking<\/h2>\n<p>Mr Rotem told the BBC that a number of British companies had been affected.<\/p>\n<p>However, he was not able to confirm their names because he and his team did not download all the data they found in order to limit the privacy implications of the breach.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told the BBC that the force was now checking whether it was one of the affected organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Among other firms whose data was discovered were:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"story-body__unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\">Power World Gyms, a gym franchise in India and Sri Lanka &#8211; 113,796 user records including fingerprints<\/li>\n<li class=\"story-body__list-item\">Global Village,
