• India’s biometric data leak

• The popularity of vitamin patches

• 4 quick hits of news from the last 24 hours

India’s biometric data leak

1.6M+ sensitive biometric and official records of Indian police and defense personnel were leaked. Candid Tech says the breach raises major concerns about identity theft and national security.

Wired was horrified: India's biometric police data leak is a privacy nightmare -- and as biometric collection grows, we'll probably see more breaches like it.

But @IagonOfficial says decentralized storage can help fix the problem: The right cloud storage can protect sensitive info from criminals.

And by the way, biometric demands aren't exclusive to police offers. The SMH says employers are asking for workers' data -- raising legit privacy concerns.

Vitamin patches

Vogue says stylish vitamin patches are a game-changer: They look great, and they deliver essential nutrients. What's not to love?

PopSugar took the patches out for a spin: Placebo or not, the author found that sleep patches improved her sleep quality.

But Stylist thinks they're mostly hype: Wellness patches lack scientific backing for their skin absorption claims.

Well+Good agrees: Vitamin patches are more hype than help. Stick to pills or better yet, get nutrients from food.
