FacePass Breach Exposes 1.6M Biometric and ID Records

The recent breach at #FacePass, a Brazilian facial recognition and identification app, has exposed deep vulnerabilities in the growing digital ID ecosystem. Over 1.6 million files containing sensitive user data and internal system credentials were left unsecured in a misconfigured Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket, according to cybersecurity researchers at Cybernews.

The exposed data includes national identity numbers, facial verification selfies, full names, CPF tax IDs, phone numbers, and AWS access credentials — painting a troubling picture of both individual and systemic risk.

As Brazil moves rapidly toward integrating #biometric verification and #DigitalID into its national infrastructure, this incident highlights how fragile such digital identity systems can be, especially as more and more countries are pushing to implement the controversial system.

Good advice but I would add the core matters. Debian/Ubuntu is your best bet if you are starting out.

A simple breakdown every distro is based on one of three cores that they were created from.

1. Debian/Ubuntu - Stable, only security updates are pushed. Point Upgrades are done to the OS on a yearly or long term schedule.

2. Arch - Bad for beginners prone to regression (bugs and crashes). Usually rolling release which means the OS is updated constantly. Falling behind those updates usually causes problems.

3. Fedora/RHEL - Stable, meant for workstations and professional use. Follows a security update only style release and point upgrades. There are some rolling release so care is needed when choosing from this line.
