The under display fingerprint scanner of Samsung's flagship smartphone Galaxy S10 is not secure. This is a very shocking matter and it raises serious questions about the biometric authentication of the company. The price of Galaxy S10 is more tahn Rs. 60000 in India and in this case fingerprint scanner is not secure.
It is worth noting that the Galaxy S10 Plus and Note 10 along with Galaxy S10 have the same in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. This means that even their fingerprint scanner is not secure.
One can easily open the under display fingerprint scanner of Galaxy S10 with the help of a cheap silicon case. For this you do not need to have knowledge of tech expert or hacking. Through cheap silicon case, a person can unlock the fingerprint scanner of your Galaxy S10 with their fingerprint.
According to a report by The Sun, a British couple has said that the fingerprint scanner was bypassed after installing a cheaper silicon case in the Galaxy S10. The British woman has said that her husband is also able to unlock the Galaxy S10 with his fingerprint, while his fingerprint was not registered in the phone.
This silicon case is for both front and back. Samsung has said that it is aware of this matter and the company will release its fix soon.
Samsung has said that the company is aware of the malfunction in the fingerprint scanner of the Galaxy S10 and to fix it, the company will soon release software patches. The couple who has detected the flaw in the fingerprint scanner has said that it is very serious.
However, this is not the first case when Samsung's ultrasonic fingerprint scanner has found a problem. It has also been opened in April through 3D printed fingerprints.
The company always tells it to be a very secure fingerprint scanner, but after this case it is clear that in the name of security, in a way people are deceived.
