訊連科技 FaceMe 系統得到升級

訊連科技發布了 FaceMe Security 解決方案 7.15 版本，這是一個基於臉部辨識的系統，用於身分驗證、考勤管理和存取控制。一個重要的新功能是「通知監視器」附加元件，當偵測到列入黑名單的個人時，它會透過閃爍的通知和聲音向安全人員發出警報，並顯示即時資訊以主動預防事件。該更新還透過與訊連科技的 U Messenger 應用程式整合增強了靈活性，允許用戶設定特定的警報參數並根據警報類型向不同的聊天群組發送通知。此次升級是訊連科技的 FaceMe 平台獲得 ISO/IEC 27001:2022 認證之後進行的，突顯了訊連科技對嚴格資訊安全標準的承諾。

CyberLink has released version 7.15 of its FaceMe Security solution, a facial recognition-based system for identity verification, attendance management, and access control. A significant new feature is the ‘Notification Monitor’ add-on, which alerts security personnel with blinking notifications and sounds when a blocklisted individual is detected, displaying real-time information for proactive incident prevention. The update also enhances flexibility through integration with CyberLink’s U Messenger app, allowing users to set specific alert parameters and send notifications to different chat groups based on alert types. This upgrade follows CyberLink’s achievement of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its FaceMe platform, underscoring its commitment to rigorous information security standards.

A recent investigative report reveals that the Five Eyes data-sharing scheme, initially designed to verify the identities of a few thousand asylum seekers, has dramatically expanded with minimal oversight. The Five Eyes alliance, which includes New Zealand, the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, now tracks everyone entering or leaving these nations, with annual checks soaring from 3,000 to 8 million. The scheme has shifted from sharing asylum seekers’ fingerprints to automatically sharing comprehensive biometric and biographic data of all travelers, often without their knowledge or consent. This expansion and the secrecy surrounding the agreements have raised significant concerns about errors, such as mistaken identity, and the lack of mechanisms for individuals to correct these errors.

最近的一份調查報告顯示，「五眼」數據共享計畫最初旨在驗證數千名尋求庇護者的身份，但在監管極少的情況下已急劇擴大。包括紐西蘭、美國、澳洲、加拿大和英國在內的五眼聯盟現在追蹤所有進出這些國家的人，每年的支票從 3000 張飆升至 800 萬張。該計劃已從共享尋求庇護者的指紋轉變為自動共享所有旅行者的綜合生物識別和傳記數據，而通常是在他們不知情或同意的情況下。這種擴張和圍繞協議的保密性引起了人們對錯誤的嚴重擔憂，例如錯誤的身份，以及缺乏個人糾正這些錯誤的機制。

SA Consumer Products has recalled 133,370 gun safes, including the Sanctuary Quick Access Biometric Home Safe and the Sports Afield Home Defense 4-Gun Biometric Safe, due to unreliable biometric locks. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the recall after reports indicated that unauthorized users could open the safes, posing a significant risk of serious injury or death. SA Consumer Products reported 77 instances of unauthorized access, though no injuries were recorded. This recall follows the CPSC’s earlier announcement in February, which included recalls for multiple brands such as Machir, Bulldog, MouTec, and Awesafe, after a tragic incident where a faulty biometric lock on a Fortress Safe allowed a 12-year-old boy to gain access, resulting in his death. That incident led to a product recall and a lawsuit against the company.
