Last week, several Galaxy S10 units that used glass/silicone-based screen protectors were found to be afflicted with a vulnerability that allowed just about anyone to unlock the device using a fingerprint. Samsung responded by asking users to refrain from using said screen protectors and that they'd roll out a software fix for the issue in the coming week. In the meanwhile, some banking apps that rely on fingerprint authentication have disallowed Galaxy S10 users from downloading or installing their apps from the Play Store while others have disabled the option to use the fingerprint scanner as a form of verification. Our Singapore-based writer Imran Hussain even received the following notification from his bank.
