• Consequence
• Stolen biometrics can be incorporated with an
  illegal modified app to take advantage of the
  stolen data and then be used for identity theft
  and then withdraw benefits such as cash and
  rations that was supposed to be meant for the
  real owner of the biometrics.
• Now that we have witnessed that such data breach
  can harm victims in such ways security must be
  properly considered when it comes to dealing with
  data at all cost.
• Hire a decent website developer who has a keen
  background on security. There is no such thing
  hack proof, but one can minimize the chances of
  getting a website hacked.

• Dark Web Monitoring
• Dark Web monitoring is also a good option where
  an intelligence team who is good in monitoring
  the dark web can watch over on how far the breach
  has damaged and affected the users data stored.
• In that way they pinpoint and protect the users
  affected in a specific manner, not just a general
  announcement that they were affected.
