Samsung will fix the recently discovered fingerprint vulnerability of Galaxy S10 series and the Note 10 with a software update. It was recently reported that certain silicone gel cases after installation on Galaxy S10, can allow anyone to access the phone with fingerprint scanner even if their fingerprint are not registered on the device. These silicone cases covers the entire phone and the issue stems from dotted pattern on some of the cases. Ultrasonic sensors work by transmitting high frequency ultrasonic sound waves at the users finger and matching details of your fingerprint against the fingerprint stored on the device based on how the sound waves are reflected back. When a user registers their fingerprint with a silicone case on, the fingerprint reader is not able to read the finger's ridges and pores as much as it reads the dotted pattern on the case, effectively making the dotted pattern the saved fingerprint and granting everyone access when the press down on the fingerprint reader. How the software update will fix this problem is unclear, but until the update comes out, Samsung has suggested everyone to use the company's official screen protectors. PLastic screen protectors work best with ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on Samsung flagship phones, as thicker screen protectors make it harder for the sensor to detect fingerprints due to the gap they create between the display and the user's finger. Though some liquid-adhesive protectors overcome this limitation, Samsung is unwilling to approve any but it's own screen protectors. Read the full article
