On Thursday, Samsung said it would patch a huge security flaw that could potentially allow anyone to bypass fingerprint recognition on the Galaxy S10 smartphone, the BBC reported.

The British Sun reported on Monday that a British woman discovered any fingerprint unlocked her phone after fitting it with a gel screen protector she bought on eBay. "This means if anyone got hold of my phone they can access it and within moments could be into the financial apps and be transferring funds,” the woman told the British newspaper.
