The facial recognition of the new Samsung Galaxy S8 is not safe

This is how forceful we can classify the security that the new unlocking system of the recently released Samsung Galaxy S8 can give us. And it is that although it is true that the devices that the event attendees had may not be the ones that will finally be put on sale soon, the facial recognition system fails in security and fails so much that it is possible to unlock the device by means of a photo placed in front of the same sensor. All this today has room for improvement and it is clear that there are other systems available in the device such as the fingerprint sensor or the iris sensor that are more effective in this regard.

For those who still do not believe it, you can see it in a video in which it is shown how Galaxy S8 is unlocked with a simple photo placed in front of the device:

So it is certain that the company has to get down to work in this regard and work with this new option that the spectacular Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + have so that in the not too distant future the problem is solved. Some rumors were already announcing that facial recognition technology was a bit green in this sense and this is demonstrated in the video when with a simple photo we have access to the device and we can say goodbye to all security or privacy. The truth is that in general these new devices are surprising due to the design and characteristics they provide, but it is necessary to correct these serious security flaws or even advise against their use until they are not 100% effective since we put our data at risk.
