Posing for a picture and flashing the V sign may expose your fingerprints, giving criminals an opportunity to steal your important information.

照相的時候比剪刀手很可能會泄露你的指紋信息，給犯罪分子可乘之機。

Researchers with the National Institute of Informatics in Japan successfully retrieved fingerprint information from a picture during an experiment, even though the subject was photographed from three meters away, according to the newspaper.

日本國立情報學研究所的研究人員進行了一項實驗，并在此過程中成功從一張比有剪刀手的照片中提取到了指紋。即使當事人當時是在三米開外的位置被拍攝的，但還是可以輕易獲取到。

Photos that include both people's faces and fingers run a higher risk of revealing personal information, and the risk for celebrities is even higher, it was added.

除此之外，研究人員還補充說道，那些顯示當事人面部和手指特征的照片泄露個人信息的風險性更大，對于公眾人物來說尤其如此。

Chinese experts in fingerprint identification confirmed the possibility.

中國指紋識別領域的專家也證實了上述可能性。

"Technically, we can use high-definition video cameras to obtain people's fingerprints," said Dr. Yin Desen of the First Institute of the Ministry of Public Security.

“從技術層面上來講，如果攝像機像素足夠高，人們是可能從中獲取到指紋的，”公安部第一研究所專家尹德森這樣說道。

He also said that people's external features are easily recorded. However, compared to video, it is more difficult to obtain fingerprints through just one photo.

他還表示，人類的外部特征非常容易被記錄。不過，相比視頻而言，單單從一張照片上提取指紋的難度將會更大。

According to experts, criminals are able to use counterfeit fingerprints to commit crimes, such as stealing fingerprint passwords and signing agreements.

專家們稱，犯罪分子可以通過偽造指紋來實施犯罪活動，比如盜取指紋密碼或者冒充簽署協議等。

Yin warned that people should pay more attention when they leave fingerprints or use them as passwords.

尹德森提醒人們應該小心謹慎，在任何場合留下指紋或使用指紋密碼都應嚴加注意。
