John Kamni, head of the biometric database management authority, rejected on Sunday the claims that the biometric database could also be in danger in the wake of the recent attacks on Israeli websites and the publication of credit information of thousands of Israelis.
“The attempt to link the credit card information leakage from shopping and coupon websites with a low and unsupervised security level to the biometric database is, at best, lack of knowledge of reality and facts,” Kamni said, adding that the biometric database is the only database that can ensure Israelis peace of mind and confidence that their identity will not be stolen.
