Taliban likely to have access to biometric databases of Afghan civilians who helped US August 25, 2021
There are growing concerns that the Taliban, after taking control of Afghanistan, has gained access to biometric databases made with the help of US-built military devices, using which they could identify and target Afghans. “We understand that the Taliban is now likely to have access to various biometric databases and equipment in Afghanistan, including some left behind by coalition military forces,” Human Rights First, an international human rights organisation based in New York City and Washington, noted.
One such handheld biometric device, known as the Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE), was initially developed by the US government to identify insurgents. Using the device, western coalition forces collected and matched the iris, fingerprint and facial scans of over a million Afghans against a database of biometric data. The biometrics initiative was initially tested in 2002. Its goals then were to prevent criminals and Taliban insurgents from infiltrating the Afghan army and police force, multiple task forces, with the Afghanistan government beginning to apply the system for improving the ease and efficiency of processing licenses.

The main hope is that none of them know which way up you are meant to hold the keyboard.
Well they had no problem accessing the embassy PornHub account....
Not to worry, Chinese and Russian tech experts are on the way to guide the Taliban.

Maybe the mods recognize BS when they see it, and you don’t.
