Biometric data of US troops, known terrorists, and people who worked with American forces in Afghanistan and in the Middle East was sold via old US military equipment on eBay, the media reported. The devices were purchased by a group of hackers, who found fingerprints, iris scans, peoples' pictures, and descriptions, all unencrypted and protected by a "well-documented" default password, reports The New York Times.
