A novel assault named ‘BrutePrint’ has been unveiled by the joint efforts of Tencent Labs and Zhejiang University researchers, enabling the forceful extraction of fingerprints on contemporary smartphones.
This method circumvents user authentication, granting unauthorized access and full control over the targeted device.
Chinese researchers successfully bypassed existing security measures on smartphones, such as attempt limits and liveness detection, using two zero-day vulnerabilities, enabling them to perform brute-force attacks and gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or networks.
