This kind of shit isn't even close to the threat model that 99% of users care about. If you're the kind of person who needs to worry about Mossad breaking into your phone, you know who you are and you're not using fingerprint unlock.

I have a fine collection of tin foil hats, would you like one?

Seriously though.. Fast Forward 20 years and the Social Media platform that everyone uses has just 'accidentally' leaked 1bn users bio-metric data to a 3rd party. Good luck re-securing your identity after that.

My point is still valid, you can't change your eyeballs, fingers or face if your bio-metrics get leaked.

I think you can add a few .9999s to that.
