Everything is a goddamn service now - even my fingerprint reader wants an Internet connection - yeah, screw you Authentec!
Even managing multiple WP sites now has to be done via a third party service: https://managewp.com/ (I've got nothing against them, they're very good - in fact, there is no better local alternative, which is what makes me sad/angry).
That is worrisome on many levels at once.
One connection is for the software updates, and there are 2 other that I have no idea what they're used for. The TrueSuite app has an app store link and the features to export and import the fingerprint scans... So much for security...
Fingerprint readers would make for a pretty good tool if you want to apprehend people on the lam, especially since you can lift their fingerprint, their location and a date/timestamp all at once. And they're self selecting in that the kind of people more likely to be doing naughty stuff would also be more likely to invest in such things as fingerprint readers.
It's free, and UK-based - so benefits from EU data protection. By @humanmadeltd.
EDIT: Running on EC2 AFAIK, so subject to Safe Harbor, FWIW.
