Samsung admits to major security flaw

Posted on October 21, 2019 by Agitator!!

Samsung has admitted there is a major security flaw in its phones that lets anyone bypass the fingerprint sensors.

″This issue involved ultrasonic fingerprint sensors unlocking devices after recognizing 3-dimensional patterns appearing on certain silicone screen protecting cases as users’ fingerprints,” Samsung said, referring to the in-screen fingerprint reader on its newest phones. “To prevent any further issues, we advise that Galaxy Note10/10+ and S10/S10+/S10 5G users who use such covers to remove the cover, delete all previous fingerprints and newly register their fingerprints.”
