Samsung Galaxy 8 Iris Scanner hacked!
24.05.17 Filed in: Hardware
Samsung just brought out its newest phone, the Galaxy S8, touting the new "iris-unlocking" feature as one of the safest methods of securing a mobile phone.
Quite unfortunately, it is incredibly simple to fool this as "the safest way to lock a phone" method, as the Chaos Computer Club has found out.
Have a look at this video by German Hacker Starbug - it shows how simple circumventing S8 security really is. The solution: don't let anyone steal your S8 after they take a picture of your face!
