Samsung Galaxy S5 Flaw Allows Hackers To Clone Fingerprints, Claim Researchers

Biometric information is about as personal as data gets. But Google’s Android partners are still failing to protect it, as researchers from security firm FireEye will discuss this week at RSA, pointing to failures in the Samsung Galaxy S5 and other unnamed Android devices. 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.

The issue appears startlingly straightforward: an attacker could focus on collecting data coming from the Android devices’ fingerprint sensors rather than trying to break into the trusted zone, according to Wei and Zhang, who are presenting their findings at RSA Conference tomorrow. 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.

“If the attacker can break the kernel [the core of the Android operating system], although he cannot access the fingerprint data stored int he trusted zone, he can directly read the fingerprint sensor at any time. Every time you touch the fingerprint sensor, the attacker can steal your fingerprint,” Zhang told FORBES. “You can get the data and from the data you can generate the image of your fingerprint. After that you can do whatever you want.”

lol, amateur hour security from samsung


remember, unlike a password, biometric information cannot be changed. once it's stolen, it's compromised for a lifetime.

at least it's not compromised out of the box like a lot of androids

We sent our Nexus 7 in to ASUS for warranty repair because it wouldn't power on or charge. So we received a tablet back that clearly wasn't ours it was in better shape, we thought perfect they replaced it instead of repairing it. Then we got an email from someone asking if we sent out tablet in for repair because they received it with all of our data intact. We have contacted ASUS and forwarded them the email chain from the person who received our tabled, after a lot of messing around their final word is

"We have reviewed the available info and we are sure that your personal info was not exposed to another person. That is all I have at this time and I hope that is sufficient."

What should I do next? This is not sufficient for what they did.
