El Samsung Galaxy S10 is the only terminal, that iImplements an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen, a type of sensor that works even if our fingers are wet, humidity in the environment or we use a 3D printer to make a mold of our fingerprint as shown by a user on Imgur.
Practically since its launch on the market, the fingerprint sensor of the Galaxy S10 has presented different operating problems that forced the company to release an update to improve it. This sensor has been developed by Qualcomm and It seems that it is not as safe as it should be at first.
In addition, not compatible with all screen protectors, which forces users to buy specific protectors, whose price is not economic to say. Darkshark, the Imgur user who was able to bypass the protection offered by this fingerprint sensor, affirms that with a little skill and a 3D printer, we can skip the security offered by Samsung's star terminal for this year, in addition to the Galaxy Note 10 that will arrive in August and probably with the same type of sensor.
darkshark claims that he obtained an image of his fingerprint from a wine bottle. Using 3D editing software, added the depth that fingerprint grooves need to be recognizable by any fingerprint sensors. Later, he sent the fingerprint file to be printed with a resin printer, which cost him $ 460.
It took 13 minutes for the printer to print a fake biometric marker that was capable of fooling the ultrasonic sensor under the S10's screen. With the cost of printing the fingerprint with a resin printer for this purpose, obviously Only professionally engaged in this type of theft can afford it.
Once confirmed, that Apple's intention to implement the fingerprint sensor under the screen, is completely ruled out, since through this simple method the security that it offers us can be bypassed.
