Banks have begun blocking their applications for owners of Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10

The story of “jamming” fingerprint scanners on Samsung flagships is gaining momentum. Hearing

about the problem, banks began to block their applications for “problem” smartphone models.

What happened

Let us remind you that users have found out in practice thata regular cheap film gives full access to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10: ultrasonic fingerprint scanners are starting to accept any fingerprint as the correct one. That is, the device will be unlocked for anyone, and they will have access to correspondence, pictures, personal data of the user and even banking applications.

Apparently the banks found out about this problem.and took measures to protect against hacking. Users write on the Reddit forum that some banks have begun to block their applications for owners of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10.

For example, the British NatWest (National Westminster Bank) has blocked its application on Google Play for these models. Other banks have disabled the fingerprint authentication feature.

True, not all banks came to this decision and only in some countries.

Samsung, in turn, promises to release an update and “fix” the scanners. In the meantime, users are advised to switch to the good old codes and graphic keys.
