I think Milo works for Microsoft!

What harm can giving up the make and model of your laptop do?

Thank you for your feedback. This vulnerability must be reported through
the
proper channels for safety and security reasons. Have a nice day.

Finger with the band aid on?....

For finger print technology it has to match a significant or set numbers
of
marker points in your fingers to accept to validate you... Mind if we ask
what notebook are you using and including its model. ( for a test )

How secure and safe is biometric technology? The reason I bring this
up
is
because I was able to log in using my finger with a band-aid attached
and
this definitely makes me question the security and safety of biometric
technology at least as far as laptops go. I imagine there probably is
lots
of articles on this already but I wanted the opinions of this
newsgroup.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
