Better question.... Why would Apple/Google/Microsoft engage in an activity that, if discovered, would severely damage their credibility, lead to multi-million dollar lawsuits, and possibly result in some executives going to jail --- all for the benefit of some third-party organization? How would they keep the 100s is developers/QA testers/executives quiet about an obviously illegal activity? How would they keep the transmission of the data secret for the hackers and security pros carefully monitoring every package transmitted, looking for flaws?

Even better:
Hackers have already learned how to harvest your fingerprint from your cell phone or tablet if it has fingerprint recognition installed. even if you don't use it.
If someone steal your password you can get another. But you can't get new fingerprints.

BS. That Chaos Club so-called "hack" is in practical terms nonsense. Because it's completely impractical to perform the "hack" for a random person. The "hack" required physical access to the phone itself.
You leave your fingerprints EVERYWHERE. I don't need to steal them off your phone if I REALLY REALLY want them. Like off the glass of your phone, for example.

wow. thanks for the kindly curse words
one notes how often its possible to access other devices on your android without physical acccess. Matter of time.

No. I work in the fingerprint sensor industry. I'm not aware of any such program. It would undermine people's faith in the integrity of the system. Plus data is usually encrypted when stored or transmitted anyways.

Of course.... they also send them to the Illuminati, the Priori of Sion (formed by those darn Elders), the Super Saiyan and to a special account of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
This all happens in real time. No wonder it takes so much time to actually log in using Touch Id.

They don't need to send data to the NSA, the NSA can simply hack their servers and steal it.

Maybe, but I'll need proof that you have a valid license.
