Apple at the launch of the iPhone X, reported that face recognition system Face ID is much safer than the Touch ID fingerprint reader. The company claims that the likelihood of someone unlocking your phone is 1: 1.000,000, by 1: 50.000 that was with the Touch ID.
But that doesn't necessarily mean Face ID will protect your device, as Vietnamese security company Bkav managed to unlock Apple's super duper feature with the help of a custom-made masks with it face of an iPhone X owner.
The mask was made with an 3D printer, 2D images, a silicon nose and plenty of makeup. The result you see as well was pretty strange but capable of fooling the iPhone's Face ID so that he thinks he's the real owner of the device.
The company from Vietnam states that with special processing, and really subtle tweaks to some parts of the face, are enough to bypass Apple's facial recognition, as you'll see in the video below.
It goes without saying that this is a very expensive mask that requires abundant know-how, resources and time. So it will be rather difficult to see many masks circulating. But this experiment brings to mind a very big issue for Apple:
If a security company managed to bypass face recognition, a few days after the official launch of the device, that means others could do the same. The first name that comes to mind is the FBI.
The US Federal Service often criticizes Apple for not helping the authorities gain access to locked iPhone terrorists.
So the FBI is obviously happy with the above news, as it has the expertise, resources and time to creation μασκών...
