If you use a fingerprint to secure your iPhone and you feel safe, well, researchers in computer security tell you that you are naive because your terminal can be accessed quite easily by a sufficiently well-motivated person.
In the video clip below, you will see how easily the fingerprint reader of a smartphone can be fooled with a latex fingerprint created after taking a finger mold using the same type of material that a dentist uses for his patients.
This is still a happy case because even a fingerprint taken from a photo can be used to unlock a smartphone that has a fingerprint reader, and here we include all devices that are protected with such security systems.
Of course, the person who wants to access your smartphone must be able to take the fingerprint from somewhere, but if everything can be done even from a picture, systems of this kind no longer seem as secure as they were when they were initially launched .
Although Apple, Samsung and all smartphone manufacturers claim that systems of this kind offer absolute protection for users, the reality is that things are completely different and if a security code or password can be changed, the fingerprint is permanent.
