Samsung to fix bug that can let anybody unlock S10: Report
Samsung has reportedly said it will roll out a security update to fix a major vulnerability that let unregistered fingerprints unlock the firm’s flagship Galaxy S10 as claimed by a British user, the media reported.
The user named Lisa Neilson had installed a third-party, gel-based screen protector on her Galaxy S10, which apparently did not work well with ultra-sonic, in-display fingerprint scanner on the device.
Neilson spotted the issue when her husband unlocked her phone with his thumbprint, when it was stored in a cheap case.
When the S10 was launched in March, Samsung described the fingerprint authentication system as “revolutionary”, the BBC reported on Thursday.
