      With Wired magazine its basically all about BS articles that are paid marketing. No separation of Ad sales and journalism at all.

      When I saw the article about the first Samsung watch and they had the two Korean execs in a photoshop talking about innovation I cracked up. I got that in 2014, it died in side of 2 weeks. I couldnt get anyone to do anything about it. Plus it was a bulky POS.

      I knew then Wired was shill.

      Yeah, that's why I'm struggling to believe their rebuttle. A known marketing shill is protecting Apple from a known security research firm. Which is more likely to be legit? Based only on knowing who each company is, Wires seems by far the less credible.

        Also of interest, "Prior to the Bkav video, Wired worked with Cloudflare to see if Face ID could be hacked through masks that appear far more sophisticated than the ones the Bkav hack depicts. ".... um, what does a hipster pseudo-tech news publication and a web reverse proxy service have to do with this? These are really suspicious companies to have involved in proving that this tech is solid. Wired is a pretty goofy magazine at best and CF has no expertise (that we know of) in this kind of security, it's nothing to do with their business.

        yeah I was definitely wondering why CF was involved in this testing at all? Seemed very weird.

        Yes, very fishy.

        WTF people can you all not read?

        Rogers (now employed by Cloudflare) is famous for being one of the first to break TouchID, as well as having been in the security field forever.

            If that was the case, they'd mention him as a specialist, not his employer in an unrelated field.

            I might be an amazing pastry chef, but work as a manager in a manfucturing plant, you don't write an article saying that I helped design a cake by saying that "Big Box Manufacturing consulted on cake design."

              CloudFlare is in the security field, but not the facial recognition security field. Nor, from what I know, is Marc. The hackers in question are specifically facial recognition hackers.

                      Right, that was my point. He's long been in OTHER hacking communities, not facial recognition. And not mentioned by the article being discussed.

                          Said Source, is the article I read earlier which correctly identifies Marc.

                            Facial Recognition, the thing I keep saying. What does "Apple products" matter. TouchID and FaceID would be unrelated as technologies go. That's like saying I'm a UNIX expert because I used FaceTime well.

                              No one disputed the facts, we were saying that TechCrunch lacked creditbility. As does Wired.

                                CloudFlare is in the security field, but not the facial recognition security field. Nor, from what I know, is Marc. The hackers in question are specifically facial recognition hackers.

                                Marc has long been in the hacking community. See above post about breaking TouchID.

                                Right, that was my point. He's long been in OTHER hacking communities, not facial recognition. And not mentioned by the article being discussed.

                                Specifically he hacked Apple prodcuts how much more do you fucking need.

                                Facial Recognition, the thing I keep saying. What does "Apple products" matter. TouchID and FaceID would be unrelated as technologies go. That's like saying I'm a UNIX expert because I used FaceTime well.

                                  You keep saying he has experience. Facial recognition is not related to touch, Apple products or anything else. That doesn't mean that he can't learn or get interested in something new. But just because he's been involved in other kinds of hacking implies nothing about his skills or experience with this kind.

                                  Likewise, he might be the best TouchID hacker in the world, does that also mean he's a good social engineer? They might all be "hacking" but that's a loose term and the relationship between the disciplines is solely in the goal, not in the skills or experience.

                                      So nobody here realizes that the facial recognition got totally pwned by this guy?

                                        Looks like FaceID isn't nearly as secure as they claimed. Those hackers are looking more and more likely to have really hacked it as casual hacking of the devices starts to be known.
