Samsung's Galaxy S10 in-display fingerprint sensor can be fooled by a 3D-printed fingerprint. The device's flaw was discovered by a user of the image-sharing website Imgur, who photographed their own fingerprint from the side of a glass. This picture was then fed into inexpensive 3D printing equipment, and then reproduced on a piece of resin within minutes. " Samsung has since issued an update to its software that will prevent this kind of attack in future. Many smartphone features, like banking apps, are secured by the technology.
