iPhones 1: Androids Nil
« on: May 25, 2023, 04:41:20 PM »
 eeek:

‘Mobile phones from Honor, Motorola, Nokia, Oppo, Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi have face unlock systems that can be fooled by a printed 2D photograph, a flaw that could be exploited by criminals to unlock the screen and steal personal information, Which? research has found.’

https://www.which.co.uk/policy-and-insight/article/smartphones-have-face-recognition-that-can-be-easily-spoofed-with-2d-photo-which-finds-arM1G1p8R6mY

Quite alarming but the good news for some was

‘All the Apple phones Which? tested passed the spoofing tests. Apple’s Face ID is a more robust system using sensors to create a 3D depth map of your face. This could be why a lot of banking apps only allow face recognition as a security measure on Apple iPhones.’
Well, whatever, nevermind

Just accidentally put my iPhone into the washing machine in a 60 degree cycle  eeek:

Realised my mistake but the only way to release it was to switch to a rinse and spin cycle  scared2:

Incredibly, it still works!!!!
