Some people like to stick two fingers when taking a picture, make a "V" gesture, and use this gesture to indicate "victory" or "peace." In response, some Japanese researchers have recently claimed that they have successfully obtained the fingerprint data of these users from the electronic photos displayed by such users. This gives people a warning that such data information may be stolen by hackers.
Professor Isao Echizen of the NaTIonal InsTItute of InformaTIcs recently told Reuters Television that "hackers can use these digital photos to obtain identity information of others and then simulate stolen information. Identity, access to the stolen information of the person's smartphone, or sneak into or into the protected area of ​​the stolen information, such as apartments."
Nowadays, the “Vâ€-shaped gestures when taking pictures are increasingly becoming more and more popular among Japanese users. Echizen and another researcher, Tateo Ogane, recently conducted an experiment in which they extracted fingerprint data from Echizen's work in a digital photo taken at a distance of 3 meters (about 9.8 feet). Fingerprint recognition is now very common, which is very dangerous.
This high-resolution digital photo was taken with a 135 mm lens mounted on an SLR camera. The fingerprint scanner finds a way to enter the user's mobile phone, laptop, external hard disk and electronic wallet, thereby obtaining the user's alternative identification information, and further stealing the user's relevant password and personal identity data.
However, NTT Docomo, Japan's largest mobile operator, said that the company has not received any reports of fingerprint data misuse on client devices.
Yasutaka Imai, a spokesperson for the above research institute, said, “Fingerprint authentication can be used for many purposes, including smartphones. Every manufacturer can decide how to maintain this certification process. We will continue to monitor and track this situation carefully. ."
