Fake Fingerprints Can Unlock Your Devices
The test ratio is based on a total of twenty attempts to unlock the devices using fake fingerprints. The results were astonishing; the fingerprint scanner got manipulated 80% of times. This is an issue and can pose significant dangers if exploiters got the perfect knowledge on how to manage the fingerprint recognition system. Tech companies need to take care of this and come out with a solution fast. 80% is a very high probability and does not look suitable for the lofty security promises that most of these devices come out with.
Padlock Devices Easiest To Enter
The study brought out an exciting result. Devices which have padlocks are the most susceptible ones when fake fingerprints are being used to enter. So devices such as Samsung Galaxy S10, MacBook Pro 2018, and iPhone 8 are the devices in which fingerprint recognition can be manipulated 90% times. The reason behind this result is the logic with which fingerprint scanners are made, which is to guess the fingerprint that the user has entered. At the same time, it is interesting to note that Samsung Galaxy A70 is a device which has a 0% success rate in terms of being hacked by fingerprint security manipulation. But it is essential to understand that no technology is every safe. Every new technology has loopholes, and it gets better with time. It’s a constant war between the manipulators of the technology and the developers of it. Ultimately, it gives a chance for technology to improve even faster.
