I really laughed at how they bypassed such thing…
According to the Vietnamese Internetwork Security Center BKIS, they were able to bypass the face recognition authentication thingy with a funny method.
To summerize the whole thing (ofcourse I’ll provide the source link), it’ll be something like this:
1- Log in with your face picture
2- Talk to someone (who wants to steal your authentication) over MSN Messenger or whatever and open your webcam to him\her\it
3- That someone will take a picture of you using your webcam
4- That someone will print that picture and use it as your face to log in
As simple and funny as that :P… Even though it might be harder to actually fill in their place with such thing, but I really laughed at the picture above… Reminds me of Team Fortress 2’s spy 😛
That feature is provided in some Lenovo, Toshiba and Asus laptops…
More details can be found Here.
lol, why didn’t they use that idea in mission impossible!, then it would be Mission Too Easy! ;p
Tom Cruise wouldn’t be cool if he did this move 😛
That silly? I thought this only happens in Movies, and MGS
well, considering the difficulty of physically accessing someone’s laptop with a picture in his hand to take over his pc… yes its silly…
but wouldn’t mind kicking a laugh or two 😛
