Samsung Galaxy S3 Face Unlock Tricked By Photograph

[wraggster]

Android's Face Unlock security on the Samsung Galaxy S3 can be tricked into unlocking the phone by showing it a photograph of the owner (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/353445/20120618/samsung-galaxy-s3-face-unlock-flaw-photograph.htm). In a test carried out by IBTimes UK, we found that the Galaxy S3 cannot distinguish between a photograph and a real person, leading us to suggest users should select a more secure way of locking the phone, such as with a PIN or password
