Suprema is a South Korean information securty company that supplies many companies and government agencies, such as the UK Metropolitan police, with their Biostar 2 web based biometrics lock system. The self proclaimed "Global Powerhouse in Biometric, Security and Identity Solutions" company have been found to have let fingerprint data, biometric and personal information of over 1 million people publicly accessible online. Israeli researchers Noam Rotem and Ran Locar working with vpnmentor found the database accessible and mostly unencrypted and said “We were able to find plain-text passwords of administrator accounts”! Powerhouse isn't the term I would use.
