Genuinely surprised to not see this happen yet. I guess it's a good thing Apple and Google are the ones who typically store Fingerprints and not third party apps.
Thankfully, nobody stores full fingerprints, just derivations (sort of like a hash). And, when those are stored, they are so far always stored in secure hardware elements. The data is never accessible from within the OS, and never uploaded anywhere.
"The proposed system stores alphanumeric and biometric data (a combination of four fingerprints and the facial image). [...] The System is composed of a central database connected to national entry points."
If/when this comes to be, that database will probably be both well-protected and an incredibly tempting attack target.
Governments have been storing biometric data for decades. I was asking which private company has been doing so - as that is what was being alluded to.
*more to the point, the only way I see a government who stores biometric data being an issue WRT security: the government is after you (in which case they're likely getting what they want anyway), or it's a targeted attack from a foreign government (in which case biometric theft is the least of your concerns).
