"Because it is open-sourced, people could be mistakenly using what they think are real orbs, but in actual fact they are fake orbs that can snatch biometric data," he cautioned. He advocated for Worldcoin to employ independent third-party auditors to assess the hardware and software of orb rollouts, reinforcing trust and confidence in the their global proof of personhood effort.Founder of Applied Blockchain Adi Ben-Ari decided to get his iris scanned by a Wordlcoin orb.
"However, in offering an option to send your biometric iris scan image to Worldcoin's servers, outside of the Orb device, it is obvious that the Orb doesn't have hardware, firmware and software to prevent this data from ever leaving the device. It allows the biometric iris scan data to leave under certain circumstances, which means they could also, through a software / firmware update, choose to extract other data if they wished," he added.
