      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.

      As a non apple user until recently - more than simply the name of CF in the article I was reading...

          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.

              Right, so now all people who steal phones have to do is find someone under the age of 13 who looks similar to you and they're in......

                And by the time they find someone that looks like you, you can track them and lock the phone via iCloud....

                  So basically, Face ID is so convenient that they can't live without it, so they won't just go to a PIN, instead they will delete all SMS/texting type messages. Really??

                  There's a JB /sigh FFS moment for ya.

                    A S. Korea security firm already broke it as well with an ultra-HD 3d printer and made a mask of the person who's face had locked the phone.

                      Did they provide sufficient documentation? Because a Vietnam firm had claimed that earlier but no one believed them.

                          The claim that people have made is that Apple tested this and it can't be done. I'm not sure why Apple testing that would mean it can't be done, but that's the basis for the claims against the tech. That and a mask doesn't address the iris scanning, but who knows if they really do that or just claim it.

                            The article specifically said they had printed an ultra-hd mask, and use it to login to the phone. I'm assuming this includes the eyes and everything.

                            It was stated that it was really impractical based on the cost of the printer used to get that mask. And as such was a proof of concept that the tech was "easily broken".

                              Can you print irises?

                                    You do that during initial phone setup, I think. I haven't set up new phone in almost 2 years so my memory is flaky here. Using it after fact, now that might be challenging.

                                        Apple testing? I believe that without question!!! (said the crapple fanboi sheeple)

                                        Anybody have some REAL test results, preferably the kind that don't involve turtleneck wearing douches and their high dollar product announcements?

                                          ya that's what I meant. They may set it up, but I meant I don't know very many people that would be able to leverage it if they needed to.

                                            I think it's less about knowing how vs knowing that the feature exists at all.

                                            Sure you go through setup, check the box and then never think about it again. IF they ever logged into their iCloud account, there is a huge button - locate your phone - that makes it pretty impossible to miss if you've logged in there and looked around.
