    SAMSUNG TO RELEASE PATCH FOR ITS GALAXY S10 FINGERPRINT SECURITY FLAW EARLY NEXT WEEK

    Samsung to Release Patch for its Galaxy S10 Fingerprint Security Flaw Early Next Week

    Following a fingerprint security flaw discovered from the Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung has said it will release a patch for its phones’ in-display fingerprint sensors as early as next week.

    It was discovered lately that the biometric security method could be rendered useless by certain screen protectors.

    According to Samsung, the issue relates to some “silicone screen protecting cases that affect the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10 5G, as well as the or Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus.

    Samsung had said that the issue caused by the phones’ ultrasonic fingerprint sensor incorrectly reading 3D patterns in the screen protector as fingerprints. As a result, any person could then unlock a phone wrapped in such a case, creating a security issue.

    However, pending the time the patch will be released Samsung has beckoned on its users not to use any such covers.

    The company has advised users to remove the cover, delete any previously-registered fingerprints, and then re-register them without the cover applied.

    Users with the screen protector that came pre-applied to their phones need not worry.
