    10-Year-Old Boy Cracks the Face ID On Both Parents' IPhone X

    https://apple.slashdot.org/story/17/...rents-iphone-x

    A 10-year-old boy discovered he could unlock his father's phone just by looking at it. And his mother's phone too. Both parents had just purchased a new $999 iPhone X, and apparently its Face ID couldn't tell his face from theirs. The unlocking happened immediately after the mother told the son that "There's no way you're getting access to this phone."

    Experiments suggest the iPhone X was confused by the indoor/nighttime lighting when the couple first registered their faces. Apple's only response was to point to their support page, which states that "the statistical probability is different...among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed. If you're concerned about this, we recommend using a passcode to authenticate." The boy's father is now offering this advice to other parents. "You should probably try it with every member of your family and see who can access it."

    And his son just "thought it was hilarious."
    Another one I found to be hilarious was to crack Facial Recognition by grabbing a photo of the person who had access and simply holding up that photo in front of the camera, then only to find out the photos being used were in family pics that were in the office right next to the Facial Recognition computer at all times. Might just as well make your password "123", then put a big note on your monitor!

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    The Elimination of Privacy is the Architecture of Genocide

    Belief, Money, and Violence are the three ways all people are controlled

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

    For many Facial Recognition protection packages, you CAN use just a photo!
