Earlier this month Korean tech giant Samsung's flagship Galaxy S10 smartphones were discovered to have a serious security flaw. The smartphones, which utilize an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric validation could be unlocked with any fingerprint provided that the device was using a gel-based screen protector. Samsung admitted the issue soon and promised that it would mitigate the problem through a software update. Well, the Korean tech giant has kept its word and released a software update reports Reuters. Take a look below for more details.

Fooling a Samsung Galaxy S10's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor isn't new news. While the flaw resulting from gel protectors was discovered recently, it isn't the first time the S10 was unlocked through methods that shouldn't have worked, and that Samsung should have tested thoroughly prior to releasing the devices in the market.
