      [BUGS & ISSUES] You can easily fool Samsung Galaxy S10 series’ facial recognition

      It’s coming to light (via AndroidPolice) that Samsung Galaxy S10 series’ facial recognition has been fooled using a video, image, or even a family members’ face in one case.

      To begin with, here’s Lewis Hilsenteger from Unbox Therapy fooling the feature using a video being played on another device:

      Then comes apk teardown queen Jane Wong, who reported their S10+ device couldn’t differentiate between faces of family members:

      — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 9, 2019

      And finally, a video from an Italian blog showing S10 facial recognition being fooled through an image:

      It’s worth mentioning that this problem is not specific to Galaxy S10 series as other devices in the past have had similar issues. This is just another example that shows facial recognition tech isn’t as secure as other security systems like fingerprint and iris scanners.

      The shortcomings and vulnerabilities of the face unlock method in Galaxy S10 is already known widely. You can go to Settings => Biometrics and security => Face recognition and toggle off Faster recognition, which make face recognition a little slower but adds up security.

      Now Samsung has sent an official statement to Techradar regarding the fiasco:

      Face recognition is a convenient action to open your phone. For actions requiring strong security, Samsung recommends using the new in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint that unlocks only with your physical fingerprint.

      The Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner has been certified by FIDO Alliance with the world’s first Biometric Component Certification that recognizes its vault-like security and industry best-practice for biometric-enabled devices.

      Samsung has acknowledged the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner issue and confirmed a bug-fixing update is headed your way. The company also has some advice for S10 and Note 10 owners:

      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. If you currently use front screen protective covers, to ensure optimum fingerprint scanning, please refrain from using this cover until your device has been updated with a new software patch. A software update is planned to be released as early as next week, and once updated, please be sure to scan your fingerprint in its entirety, so that the all portions of your fingerprint, including the center and corners have been fully scanned.
