Now Mastercard Wants Your Fingerprints
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Earlier this week, USA Today reported that massive payment processor MasterCard had joined the FIDO alliance. FIDO is an acronym for Fast IDentity Online, and the group describes itself as:
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization nominally formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices as well as the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The FIDO Alliance plans to change the nature of authentication by developing specifications that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that supplant reliance on passwords to securely authenticate users of online services. This new standard for security devices and browser plugins will allow any website or cloud application to interface with a broad variety of existing and future FIDO-enabled devices that the user has for online security.
USA Today reports that:
SAN FRANCISCO — MasterCard is joining the FIDO Alliance, signaling that the payment network is getting interested in using fingerprints and other biometric data to identify people for online payments.
MasterCard will be the first major payment network to join FIDO. The Alliance is developing an open industry standard for biometric data such as fingerprints to be used for identification online. The goal is to replace clunky passwords and take friction out of logging on and purchasing using mobile devices.
It’s for your own good, and it’ll probably fight terrorism too!
Apple’s new iPhone 5s smartphone has a fingerprint sensor, but the tech giant is not part of FIDO. However, Google is part of the Alliance, and devices running Google’s Android operating system will have fingerprint sensors by next year.
I’m sure the folks at the Department of Homeland Security will be more than happy that the financial giant will make mass collection under its Biometric Optical Surveillance System (BOSS) that much easier. Serfs up suckers!

Fuck this, I'll use bitcoin instead.
Never buy anything on credit...
especially from a Big Bank!
Mastercard can have my scrotum print, right on their chin.
I just want to know what Pelosi's cut is for brokering this deal between the NSA and MC.
Nullify the NSA here's how.

Viictory Gin for all!
Drink up gents.
Gattaca, full speed ahead.
Funny you mention that. I just saw a commercial from ancestry.com that is marketing a do-it-yourself DNA test kit. Simply swab your dna and mail it in. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?!
How soon before some unlucky dude gets his fingerprints matched with Al Qaeda's latest bomb-making mastermind.
When pigs fly.
Looks like I'll be canceling my MasterCard account.
My thoughts exactly.
I can already see the headline by Drudge:
MAN TIED, FINGER AMPUTATED, IN NEW CREDIT CARD HORROR!

Haha, I actually bought that in 2011. I knew this day would come. o.O
My response to this move is to just steal what I want since they've compromised cash / check / debit + credit cards.
I spent the extra money for this one...

nice little hawk for the money there
lol
Thanks Q!
Diamonds Are Forever, Stephanie Powers (?) gets fooled.
They can have my ass-print on their face...especially after downing a blazing bowl of chilli!
Just cut to the chase already and implant the chip
I see a business op here. Faux prints. Who's game?
Next, everyone is going to have a bar-code tattooed onto their foreheads.
They may already be doing that in some military hospitals.......
we are next...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAJnkyH4MA
I'm sure the next iPhone will be chip compatible.
Xibalba- Amen to that, brother. Let's get this over with. Put the damned chip in my head and let's 'move on'. We all know where it's headed, so let's dispense with this childish and annoying "are we there yet, Dad?" bullshit and just get there already. Hook me up to the Matrix or don't. Stop fiddle-farting around.
I'll give them both my bionetric middle fingers!
Tread with caution, the bankers and their minions in .gov are intent on debasing Bitcoin.
+1 for your efforts to fuck the system.
Try it. Go ahead. FUCK OFF MOTHERFUCKERS I'll cancel all cards that require this.
We take cash, greenbacks, silver and gold as payment, which way do you prefer to pay?
That's toooo harrrrd. I need easy, I've got a full day ahead of me on the hamster treadmill.
Just cut up your cards, i.e.,don't use them...if you offically cancel that dings your credit rating...if it matters at all.
They can't have my fingerprints, but I will gladly provide MasterCard with my stool sample.
"They've" already taken my prints 3 times... working at a bank or brokerage you must give 'em the prints as part of your introductory indoctrination. Was an olde time "security" precaution. Just like the mandatory 2 weeks min va-ca.
I had to get very James Bond-ish to disguise myself after the print thry took of my foreskin.
Got me one of them home circumcision kits....

Even Bush's Feces & Urine Are Classified Top Secret
"The White House flew in a special portable toilet to Vienna for Bush's personal use during his visit. The Bush White House is so concerned about Bush's security, the veil of secrecy extends over the president's bodily excretions. The special port-a-john captured Bush's feces and urine and flew the waste material back to the United States in the event some enterprising foreign intelligence agency conducted a sewage pipe operation designed to trap and examine Bush's waste material. One can only wonder why the White House is taking such extraordinary security measures for the presidential poop."
"The Israeli Mossad conducted one such operation against Syrian President Hafez Assad when he visited Amman, Jordan in Feb. 1999 for the funeral of King Hussein. The Mossad and its Jordanian counterpart installed a special toilet in Assad's hotel room that led not to a pipe but to a specimen canister. Assad suffered from diabetes and cancer and the operation was designed to discover the actual medical condition of the ailing leader."
I'm sure that they could learn a lot. What kinds of kids he had eaten, what kind of blood he had been drinking? Maybe what kind of drugs he had been on? Something special about his DNA? This is a bizarre world.
Exactly. I'll freeze a massive taco shit and hurl it through their living room window.
Fuck Master Fuck.
I'm giving them the finger right now.
They can have my fingerprints when they pry them from my cold dead hands.
EDIT: Oops, sorry Jumbotron! You beat me to this line by four minutes.
I'm sure they won't mind prying them from both of you.......
You should both give each other a high four.
<Chuckle> Why don't we raise a glass to Charlton Heston......with our four fingers.
Doesn't matter whether you believe or not.......but the "mark of the beast" passage in Revelation is looking more likely day by day.
Soon it will be the norm for everything.
Only those who have believed on the Lord and are eternally secure in their salvation from eternal damnation will be able to resist the mark of the beast.
Only believing on the Lord saves a person. No works can be added. Salvation is a gift from God, as He gave Himself to die on the cross that we might be re-united with Him and not have to pay the wages of sin: death.
The beast has all of us well and truly in his embrace through debt, wars on the innocent, sickly conumption, loss of privacy, lack of morality, godless leaders and pornography. The fingerprint is just another nail in our coffin.
"Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good . . . Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”
- Pope Francis
Nice to see the Church coming around.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/pope-francis-stirs-debate-yet-again-with-interview-with-an-atheist-italian-journalist/2013/10/01/9e7a6790-2acb-11e3-97a3-ff2758228523_print.html
Not sure I agree fully fonz. There are some whackadoodles whose idea of fighting evil arent necessarily good for mankind. Francis' words open to the door for extremists to justify their actions, especially violent ones. Judeo Christian blueprints at least provide basic 101 on how to treat others. I think the popes words are dangerous
Kito, your comment reminded me of a conversation I had over the weekend. Hitler and Jesus Christ were compared and connected based on my use of two words: reality and truth. How that person correlated the two is dangerous. I believe inaction is a pretense to danger. Fighting evil as the government sponsors is evil. Fighting against temptation is not dangerous. Neither is it dangerous fighting against the false self known as the ego. Yet, those two are extremely evil. Evil is not living in a foreign nation waiting to invade us. It has already invaded the minds of billions and attempting to slowly deactivate the truth within.
There are no evil people, there are only great excuses.
In their own minds nobody is evil or does evil, they're just "defending themselves/their-family/their-country" or "getting them 'cause they're after us" or "retrieving what's rightfully ours" or even "we're saving them from themselves".
And this is nothing new. Why do you think that to make a country do evil things (as America has done) politicians will use the "they're against us" dialetics (such as "they hate us for our freedoms") or the "it's to save them" one (such as "free them from oppression")?
You're right too.
Tech and insidious evil can take away choice as far as any "mark" is concerned or any microchipping, etc. They now have mosquito drones, and as tech improves, will be able to implant most people while they're sleeping or stuck at stop lights, etc, esp if the implants get smaller and smaller.
Need this in a world where kids can't write in cursive. Plus it makes fraud easier because there is only a computer record that shows your fingerprint was scanned. Basically a bit field with the name FingerPrintScanned that have a value of true and a date and time stamp. Jon Corzine wishes he had this functionality because he could have provided proof that the MFGlobal clients donated their money to the company via transactions with fingerprints.
Paving the road to the antichrist soon ascension to the throne is going according to plan. Don't be surprised when you find out that Bieber is the anti-christ, as that would explain a lot with the world.
And Mrs. Anti-Christ is Miley Cyrus.
I agree and her tongue always sticking out is indicative of some sort of demonic possession!
DaddyO
Here I thought it was just your run-of-the-mill case of mental retardation
Oh no, she's a reptilian! http://beforeitsnews.com/celebrities/2013/10/miley-cyrus-admits-shes-rep...
(/sarc. Heavy /sarc. It's shit like this that gives conspiracy theorists a bad name, and that's saying something.)
The can have my fingerprints when they rip them from my cold, dead hands !
Or lift them off of any glassware or anything you just touched.
Like M. Jackson, I wear one glove wherever I go. Who knew the man/woman was a seer?
They can have my puckered sphincterprint.
Sooner or later they will have that too with a device fitted to the toilet.
Fuck MasterCard.
I'll cut up my card after I max out my limit and file for bankruptcy.
Fingerprint reader on new iPhone was hacked within 48 hours using Elmer's glue.
Fuck these statist corporate parasites and their fiat money and kleptocratic schemes.
p.s. - the spellchecker corrected me, it's "MasterCard" not "Mastercard".
So sorry, oh Gods of credit and malfeasance.
I can only hope since bankers are the only ones left making money that a "banker finger" black market pops up as identity theft goes to the next level.
:sharpens hatchet:
Damn. All of those companies just lost a customer.
Well, to be honest, I am not a customer of Google or any credit card company. So....
I got a fecal sample waiting for them.
That $1 FRN in one's wallet is already worth its face value plus the local tax in some establishments.
This just may add additional value to the physical FRN.
Just sayin'...
I can't wait until "just sayin'" goes the way of "it is what it is" or "get 'er done".
I don't know anyone who isn't intellectually challenged that says "just sayin'".
Oh and Finger print smart phones scare the shit out of me.
I've been telling/yelling for over half a year that the Club Fed banks are going toward BIOMETRIC units of currency.
YOU are (or will be) the walking, talking currency. The Mark of the Beast (666) is coming: Biometric RFIDs*. You can't lose, copy or steal them. EVERYTHING you buy, sell or borrow will be via the Bio-Chip. It will even track your GPS coords.
* HSBC has put up posters at airports a year ago.
The late Aaron Russo concurs in his documentary:
America: Freedom to Fascismhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uNNeVu8wUak
Can't stress enough how EVERY ONE should see this film. Prophetic to the max.
Are you sure "it's coming?" My GF can implant one into you at her vet clinic. They've been putting those things into cats and dogs for years.
All kidding aside, if as you've described ever comes true, I will assure you some will happily go along with it given their neomanic tendencies; but others, like myself, will find a way to transact economically by other means (e.g. vote with our feet) as I would not freely accept a Biometric RFID for obvious reasons.
I have voted with my feet, which has proven to be the best decision of my life.
Gey out while you can.
Gey out while you can.
I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of time for that in the FEMA camps...
Anything for the children.
So where do we get a copy of Bernanke's prints so we can all order anything we want online with unlimited credit?

That my friend is brilliant ! LOL!
For Everything Else There Is MasterCard
thejuicemedia
It's a non-profit organization created to lobby Congress to force their vendors to adopt a payment system and justify their credit card fees.
There's something just plain wrong in Elizabethan English about "Non-Profit Organization".
Wake me up when they want to use my spunk as an identifier I'll be glad to give them a facial.
This is a cog in the cashless, fully trackable, no anonymity, total tyranny society. Want to post an online comment? Fed law will say: Present your finger. Buy a toaster: present your finger. Buy a pizza: you can't you're overweight. Want medical care: present your finger. Buy food: only when Michelle approves. Buy gold: you'll need federal approval. Buy a gun: ha ha ha the government gives you the finger.
All you anti-government freedom loving people are going to be digging through garbage for table scraps because your bank account has been seized for anti-social tendencies.
"And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave." Let's party, bitchez.
Speaking of anonymity...what happened to the new $100 dollar bills that were supposed to be forthcoming??? I'm thinking canceled due to dollar collapse imminently?
They're unable to print a new version of the current currency. Which leads me to think there won't be any red dollars or whatever. When the banks re-open after the bank holiday, all you can do is deposit whatever currency is in your matress. Every purchase from then on will be by card.
I understood the rollout date to be Oct-18-2013. Eleven daze from now.
They didn't have enough 0's
I got your finger right here NSA...

what your card company knows about you rivals Google
fingerprint is the gateway to the embedded iChip
of course in the interim we look forward to the first news stories about some poor bastard that had his fingers chopped off
that is a given
and will usher in the age of embedded iChips, which will require a mugger with more than just rudimentary butcher skills
666 is no longer alone
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone...
Love that "Apocalypse in 9/8"
Back in the day, when I was reading heavily on this shit, I learned that your CC TRACKS your spending; you burning cash on marital counseling? Much time in a bar? Ooooo...they would LIMIT/DECREASE your credit line...no shit. Spooky shit.
Although all this ID stuff is crap, I would probably feel more comfortable if my finger print was on my license instead of my picture.
Is that weird?
The Apple fingerprint system was hacked within 48 hours of its introduction:

MarkOfTheBeast ®™ Don't leave home without it! Or get disappeared! And we don't mean raptured either.You know, stuff like this makes me want to march over to Wall Street & light myself on fire
I'm just afraid that it will drop out of the news after a couple hours, with no follow-up whatsover, and end up being all for nought...
MasterCard®
They love us for our fingers...
BitCoin Last price:$137.90000
Don't tell, XenoFrog will get a stroke.
knowing everything about you...Priceless
They want to know everything about you, but when their customer satisfaction reps call and I proclaim I'd like some oral sex, they get offended.
No credit cards here. Not a one. And this just assures that that will continue for the forseeable future.
That is terrible you are feeling so much bad about it. I am thanking you for telling us what you will not be doing in the futures. It is making me have better feeling now that I am having knowledges of this important information you are speaking. Thank you again. Please be coming back to ZH and telling us more if things are changing in the unforseeble futures because we will be needing to be know that thing.
In your native tongue, how would one be to saying...."eat a dick, with much enthusiasm."?
That is what I am wanting to be communicate to you.
I have been having much wondering about why so many ZH peoples who are have speaking here are happy to be having images of the sex organs of men. Many times the thinkings that ZH'ers are trying to be having other ZH'ers to be having are to be having thinkings about the man organs in their mouths. You are having a sickness in your thinking to be having so much desperation to be expressing the thoughts you are having. If that is the thinking you are always having when you are being upset you should be trying harder not to have so many angries. It is making you seem weird.
Conjugate, motherfucker!
You are very fake. You obviously speak English and are purposefully acting like you are unknowing. Your conjugations would worse and your use of verbs is as good as a native. Just throwing a fuckin S on the end of any noun to pluralize it is utter BS. Get a life.
WTF! I can change my paswword, I can't change my fingerprints.
Don't worry, there will be an app for that (or a little acid)...
If this is required I will close my mastercard...
Why should we be having carings about knowing what you are saying you will be doing? Just be doing it and not be speaking it because nobody is caring because most peoples will be knowing you won't be doing what you are saying you will be doing anyway.
You can say that again!
Whatever the fuck you tried to say, because not one person actually decoded it.
Amazing. You have completely eclipsed our # 1 troll, AnAnonymous, in complete and utter garbage.
48 words and not a single relationship can be lashed together.
Not one person. How are you having knowledges of that?
We will go on up votes.
You are going a little willy nilly with the "s"'s
Everyword in English in not a plural.
Someones with yours lacks of intelligences should be understandings these
I will cancel my MasterCard whether or not you have carings.
Last stop before the chip. Cashless transactions have been their goal all along.
Except this may have the unintended consequence of only cash transactions
They will take cash away.
Only terrorists and criminals use cash, so if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide.
Just make sure you keep up with the latest and greatest redefinition of what "doing something wrong" means.
I am not having understanding of why the speaking that ZH peoples are having is always the sounding of silly and stupid childrens. We are almost never having speakings by peoples who are here that is sounding any much better than the most stupidest talkings you can be reading anywhere on the internet where the stupidest peoples are being. Like the stupids who are having speaking where they are having talkings about car racing, or footballs, or rock and roll musics, or girls who are nasty with their tongues hanging out when they are dancing like sexing. Many peoples here should be ashamed of the stupid words they are saying and just not be saying the stupid words they are saying. I am finding out by the speakings of Americans I am disappointed in the intelligences of Americans.
...."dancing like sexing"
How is one to be dancing like sexing?
That's "twerking" you fucking faggot sounding foreigner retard. Speak to us in 'Merican, dammit.
Was that the intellectual touch you were looking for?
Glad to help. And welcome to fight club.
Lulz.
Lost in translation...
Makes my head hurt. The only part I get is that I'm being preached to about something....something sexing related.
Say, are you like , 8 years old?
Does your mom know you have accessed the computer?
You and AnAnonymous should go on a date. A match made in Hades.
You making comments about sounding stupid is pretty ironic.
@ Geruda. Would you just shut the fuck up already!
All rights yous guys, we gonna meet over at Tommy's place, you got it? Bringa your bats, knuckles, bike chains... Joey, you got that pistol, right? Bring dat too.
fuck mastercard - nazis
MasterCard is a private company. I don't see what the big deal is.
It's not like the federal government has access to that data or could compel them to share your prints.
So fucking tinfoil! Typical ZH fear mongering. What are you guys buying that you are trying to hide anyway?
Sorry guys. I'm bored tonight. Trolls have been quiet lately so I thought I'd mix it up a bit.
(Edit: wonder if the Troll Squad at .gov got furloughed? That would really break my heart)
MasterCard is a non-profit association Bankers never want to pay taxes
If you're too stupid to remember your password, you're too stupid to be in a contractual business relationship with MasterCard et al.
Stupid never stops em
So anyone who takes a copy of your fingerprint can now gain access to your stuff. PEACHY!! Count me out. At least with my password I can change it... and they have to know the contents of my brain.
No so easy to change one's fingerprints.
A suspicious person would think that it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with being able to identify every individual on the planet and tie what they do to their physical body.
No worries... the local tattoo parlor can take your fingerprints off in no time....
Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords.
Such a bad idea. People can steal and copy your fingerprints much more easily than a password. They can lift it off any piece of glassware or anything you touch.
It seems like voice recognition would be much more secure. But, then I suppose they would have to listen to all their customers say FUCK YOU! all the time.
what about a penis print?
Well a print of my penis may not be able to fit on a credit card,but that's besides the point - I've seen too many movies with cut off fingers used to get past fingerprint scanning devices.
Don't know about you but I have only one penis.
P.S. I use cash when possible.
If you had ever "lowered yourself" as I have many times to watch Family Guy you would know that Quagmire took care of the "Penis ID" technology. He just wrecked it with his legendary member.
I'd prefer the "raisin scan" myself
It's high time for independent retailers to take on the facist pigs and offer a 2% discount for non-plastic transactions. Fuck 'em!
I made that suggestion recently to the Kohl's cashier after she offered me a credit card for the 25th time. She replied, "Ain't gonna happen."
Texas has been requiring fingerprints to get drivers licenses for maby a decade.
Not rootin' tootin' freedom lovin' seccesionist Texas !!!! Does ol secesh Rick Perry know about this. Quick...someone tell Michelle Bachmann about this so she can use it against him for 2016.
No way. Clip. clip shredding the Mastercard.
