What are the risks of finger printing?

Fingerprinting, while widely used for identification and security, poses several risks. One major concern is privacy; unauthorized access to fingerprint data can lead to identity theft or misuse. Additionally, biometric systems can be vulnerable to spoofing or hacking, where artificial fingerprints are created to bypass security measures. Lastly, if a fingerprint database is compromised, individuals may be permanently at risk, as unlike passWords, fingerprints cannot be changed.
