Samsung Galaxy S10 Fingerprint Sensor Duped With 3D Print

[silversurfer]

The Samsung Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor can be fooled in a hack that takes a mere 13 minutes and involves a 3D printed fingerprint.

A Samsung Galaxy S10 user said he was able to successfully bypass the phone’s fingerprint sensors using a 3D print of his own fingerprint.
 
The Samsung user posted on Imgur this weekend under the alias, “darkshark” saying he was able to fool the Galaxy S10’s fingerprint using a simple technique – in only 13 minutes. He first took a picture of his own fingerprint, then transferred that picture to Adobe Photoshop and created a 3D print. From there, he used the 3D print to physically sign on to his phone.

“This brings up a lot of ethics questions and concerns,” he said in a recent post which features a video outlining the hack. “There’s nothing stopping me from stealing your fingerprints without you ever knowing, then printing gloves with your fingerprints built into them and going and committing a crime.”
