The New York Times reports a U.S. military-owned biometric database containing personal and biometric data on 2,632 individuals was sold privately on eBay. A German security researcher purchased the biometric capture device for $68 and found it retained names, nationalities, photographs, fingerprints and iris scans of individuals tied to wartime efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Times found the information belonged to known terrorists, wanted individuals, U.S. government contractors and U.S. checkpoint visitors from as late as 2012.
