Pay with Palm (infosec.pub)

I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

Why not just with the phone...?

Because my hands are filthy. I don’t want to get my phone all sticky/muddy/bloody or anything else you can imagine.

It won't be long now until we have the eye scanner things from Minority Report and the only way to protect your privacy is to become blind

Whelp, it was only a matter time.

And bad legislation.

Looks like fujitsu's palm vein biometric scanner

Only works if the hand is attached with blood flowing, great for South American atms

I can think of several ways to outsmart them. Not easy ways, mind you, but still.

I don't get the issue with it ? Why wouldn't fingerprint be the best way to pay for stuff ?
