Though the affected phone makers have tried to separate and encrypt the information in a separate secure zone, it’s possible to grab the biometric data before it reaches that protected area and create copies of people’s fingerprints for further attacks, said Tao Wei and Yulong Zhang from FireEye.

Any hacker who can acquire user-level access and can run a program as root, the lowest level of access on computers and smartphones, can easily collect fingerprint information from the affected Android phones, they said. On the Samsung Galaxy S5, they wouldn’t need to go as deep, with malware needing only system-level access.

Wei and Zhang said they had contacted Samsung, but had not heard back about any updates for users.

Didn't they also send someone back an LG phone as a replacement once? Or was that HTC?

My wife is better looking than anyone you've ever hosed, and you will never post pictures because you know it's true. You're so pathetic, you moved across the Atlantic Ocean to avoid people who, rightly, think you're a piece of poo poo and aren't sad to see you gone.

...and you moved to Arizona. lol.

You've had a meltdown about me over, and over, and over, because I have dominated you repeatedly by not even posting about you. Your life is poo poo, and you're mad at me because my life is better than your lonely, atavistic dumpster of a life could ever be.

I've never even acknowledged or noticed you until the past few weeks, but please, keep talking about how ugly my wife is.

more like "I am from Europe and the function I fulfil is based out of Phoenix. i will travel a fair amount and see various places in the US largely on company money" this seems at least competitive "i will constantly screech on a comedy computer forum about what a grown up, good decision maker i am because it beats having to bang my ugly wife"
