Researchers fool devices’ biometric scanners with replicated fingerprints

Researchers at Cisco Talos said they were able to fool biometrics-based user authentication technology on eight mobile devices by using 3D-printed molds to create replicates of users’ fingerprints. The process Talos researchers developed to fabricate a user’s biometric signature required a painstaking effort, and in real life would require either direct or indirect access to … Read more
