Now fingerprints are also insecure? The researchers warned


Recreate a person's fingerprints from the sound while swiping a touchscreen: Researchers have discovered how to recreate a person's fingerprints from the sound made while swiping a touchscreen? A research was done by a team of US and China. The research said the new hack could have implications for biometric security systems, which are used in everything from smartphones to door access locks.

The smartphone's microphone is used

Hackers can use the microphone found in smartphones to steal fingerprints by recording the sound of the fingerprint, the researchers said. In this regard, the researchers said in the research paper that the leakage of fingerprints can lead to theft of sensitive information, financial loss and also affect national security.

A person's fingerprint can be created with the help of technology

PrintListener works by reconstructing the pattern of finger papillary lines through acoustic signals. A person's fingerprint can be easily generated using PrintListener. The method was detailed in a research paper titled 'Print Listener: Uncovering the Oneness of Fingerprint Authentication via the Finger Friction Sound' by a team from the US University of Colorado and Tsinghua University, Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

This way fingerprint cloning can be avoided

Special screen protectors should be used on mobile devices to protect against fingerprint cloning. The best counter-measure to prevent fingerprints from being stolen is to change the way we use smartphones and screens. For example, users try not to swipe their fingers on the phone screen while making audio and video calls on social media platforms.

Easy cleaning of OTP messages.

Image
How many times do you receive SMS containing one time password (OTP) on your smartphone every day?

Thus, OTP messages are being hacked from many places in our smartphones every day. Nowadays, we hardly use messaging apps except reading SMS, so we don't pay much attention to the OTP messages stored in it. The size of such messages is very small, on the contrary, the storage space available in the phone is much more, so if we do not delete the useless messages regularly, but if the amount of such messages increases too much, it can increase the load on the overall system of the phone. Remedy in Android Fortunately, various SMS messaging apps allow us to automatically delete unnecessary messages. If the app on your phone doesn...
