Samsung issues patch for Galaxy S10 fingerprint sensor problem
randominternetperson said:I say this when Apple does it, and I'll say it now: going from learning of a hardware defect to releasing a fix in 2 weeks is pretty darn impressive.
Having said that, this defect is more ridiculous that any Apple bug/oversight than I can think of.
My assumption is that this can't be as bad as the article implies. Surely I can't walk up to your Samsung phone, add a screen protector and now I can unlock your fingerprint-protected phone, right? It's gotta be that if you have a certain type of protector on when you enroll your fingerprint any finger thereafter will unlock it. Which means that I can't use this vector to attack any phone that didn't start with a bad screen protector. That seems plausible, right?
You don't get it here.
Say Granny Alice got a "shiny new iPhone" (she thinks it's an iPhone) and puts a screen protector on it (maybe even an iPhone screen protector!). Now any scumbag can unlock her phone. She doesn't read Apple Insider because she's too busy watching the cooking channel. -

Editorial: As Apple A13 Bionic rises, Samsung Exynos scales back its silicon ambitions
kimberly said:The core discussion point is one of culture. The Far East are pretty well top dog at copying product and this skill is viewed as an enviable asset. The invisible line of copy-morality on which one side is 'yeah that's fair enough' and the other side is 'that knock-off is disgraceful' varies between the West and the Far East. I can see that deeply ingrained culture in many students from the Far East that attend Universities in the West and get sprung for plagiarising material. In a wide cross section of industry, the copier has gone on to supplant the copied but not in the case referenced in this article (so far). Many of the iKnockoff comments on this forum are really just verbalising culture where 'yes' in my back yard means 'no' in that back yard across town.
Doesn't mean plagiarism is right and knockoffs aren't knockoffs. I don't care who's yard you're in.
