Why you shouldn't unlock your phone with fingerprint or face
Biometrics are convenient but pose many security risks and are susceptible to forgery and abuse.

Fingerprints and facial recognition were once considered the standard for mobile security due to their convenience and speed. However, many studies warn that this technology has potential risks that users are rarely aware of.
Just a moment of inattention and the phone can be opened by force or tampering. Sensitive data such as emails, messages, and banking can be exposed within seconds when a device is lost.
Biometric linking applications create “unlock strings,” making it easy to copy data. Research by Cisco Talos shows that fingerprints can be faked with a low-cost 3D printer with a high success rate. Once the fingerprint is exposed, the user cannot change it like a password, the risk is long lasting.
This technology is also susceptible to abuse in adverse situations or loss of accuracy over time. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Online kidnapping scam scenario "psychologically manipulates" many victims | VTV24
