Another Data Breach Headache for LastPass

LastPass has suffered another hack attack, announcing that it is currently investigating a breach of a third-party cloud storage service. An unauthorized party used information obtained through a hack attack the company reported in August to gain access to “certain elements” of LastPass users’ information, according to the latest notice from LastPass CEO Karim Toubba. “Our customers’ passwords remain safely encrypted due to LastPass’s Zero Knowledge architecture,” he asserted.

Advent-controlled Mangopay Reveals Acquisition of Behavioral Biometrics Startup

Mangopay has acquired Nethone, which offers an anti-fraud solution based on “behavioral data collection, hardware, software, network intelligence, as well as biometrics”, the company explained in a blog post. No financial terms of the deal were disclosed. Nethone will continue to operate as a standalone company, but CEO and co-founder Hubert Rachwalski von Rejchwald has joined Mangopay’s Executive Committee. The news comes after Mangopay revealed earlier this year that Advent International, the parent company of IDEMIA, had become its majority shareholder. Mangopay implemented biometric onboarding via Onfido in early 2021.

Jammu-Kashmir NGOs Must Use Biometric Attendance Tracking to Get Aid

NGOs also must ensure that their facilities are “under CCTV surveillance around the clock,” among other conditions required for the grants.

FPC Seeks Supply Chain Control With MCU Development

Fingerprint Cards is developing its own microcontroller unit (MCU) as well as two new fingerprint sensors that will be optimized for PC applications, all of which are expected to help the company better target the PC biometrics market. In announcing the plans, FPC emphasized that establishing its own MCU would give the company “total system ownership” in the PC domain, and offer “better overall system performance.” But it also noted other benefits including “increased supply chain control” – an important consideration after the company laid out the deleterious impact of supply chain disruptions in its most recent corporate update.

IDEX Gets Another Biometric Cards Partner

IDEX Biometrics has established a biometric payment cards partnership with Accomplish Financial, a London-based provider of card and e-payment solutions. Echoing its announcement of a similar partnership with India’s M-Tech Innovations yesterday, IDEX explained that Accomplish Financial will launch biometric payment cards based on its TrustedBio Turnkey solution and Infineon Technologies’ SLC38 chip. The fingerprint-scanning cards are expected to reach consumer in Q1 of next year.

For the first nine months of 2022, its operating loss amounted to $7.8 million, down from an operating loss of $10.8 million in the first nine months of 2021.

ROC CEO Leverages Hometown Advantage for School Biometrics Contract

The Board of Education for Doddridge County Schools in West Virginia has approved the use of facial recognition software from Rank One Computing in an effort to enhance school security. The system will be deployed through a camera network that is already in place, and will be used to alert staff when individuals who are on a watch list are spotted.
