Anonymous claims link between iPhone 5S TouchID and US govt biometric database...

Hacktivist group Anonymous has released a video and accompanying evidence which claims that Apple's TouchID technology has strong links to the NSA and FBI, as well as a massive biometric database the US government is building.

The group alleges that it has discovered a "corrupt alliance of Department of Defense Contractors, NSA and CIA connected venture capital" which led to the development of the technology, and Apple's subsequent purchase of it.

The presented findings are based on investigations by jailed and gagged journalist Barrett Brown, the video says, and the group has provided links to accompanying evidence on Pastebin.

"Contrary to what a popular hacking contest would have you believe, the primary risk with the iPhone 5S ID scanner has nothing to do with a stranger lifting your fingerprints from a beer stein," the video states.

Furthermore, Anonymous says that documents obtained by the group from US defence contractor ManTech in 2010, suggest that the US has built a massive biometric database "for use both domestically and on the battlefield", which is set to be populated with any information government agencies can get their hands on.
