China’s Ministry of State Security has alerted the public that some foreign firms are using cryptocurrency token giveaways to collect people’s iris scans. Officials warn that sensitive eye data is sent overseas, posing a threat to both personal privacy and national security. They urge citizens to avoid sharing biometric details for token rewards, as stolen iris data could be misused for identity theft, spying, or cybercrime.
