Link : The Galaxy S8’s facial scanner can, unsurprisingly, be tricked with a photo
Excerpt from the link.
"Just days after Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8’s new facial-scanning feature, someone has already successfully spoofed it. Bloggers at Marcianophone secured a S8 with their face and then tricked the phone with a selfie that was saved on another device. The S8 eventually unlocked, though it took a few seconds."
Hopefully Samsung will have enough time before official launch to investigate this and apply any relevant patches.
Thankfully the phone has added security protocols such as Fingerprint scanner, pin code and pattern lock.
