So if I ever traveled to Philippines and scanned fingerprints at the border, anyone in the world can unlock my TouchID?


It's not quite that easy.

But in any case you don't need a data breach to get you fingerprint - it's probably right on the phone.

A fingerprint is the weakest form of security out there.


They don't scan your finger prints at the border in the Philippines. And this is a leak of Filipino citizens' demographic data.
