Samsung Rolls Out Fix For Galaxy S10 Fingerprint Sensor Glitch

Samsung has reportedly started rolling out a software patch for the Galaxy S10 and Note10 phones that allow the bypass of their fingerprint authentication sensors. The fix comes after Samsung admitted last week that anyone can bypass the fingerprint sensor if a third-party silicon case is enclosing the phone. Several U.K.-based banks have also started blacklisting impacted Samsung devices for their apps, as the issue also allowed users to access various apps that were using the biometric function for authentication. The issue first came to light after a woman alleged that a $3 smartphone screen protector allowed unauthorized users to dupe her fingerprint recognition sensor.
