Why your biometric unlock is not so 'secure' in the colony called Australia


At the moment in the I.T. industry, biometric (face, fingerprint) unlocking of your smartphone is touted being most secure, but unfortunately this may not be the case under many circumstances.

The brand new (on Australian shelves) Samsung Galaxy S10 has the face unlock feature built into the phone, where unfortunately for the 'consumer' the unlocking feature is not so secure as shown in the link below:


Some people (excluding the footy bogans) may have noticed that the authorities are ramping up the police state policy in this colony we call Australia.

In a deliberate misinformation campaign, only a handful of police 'mishappenings' are ever reported by the mainstream media, where the victims of police criminal activity are not in control of their actions or have had their smartphone confiscated in order not to record criminal activity committed by the police.

It's at this point in time where your face id or fingerprint scanning feature of your phone becomes a liability rather than an asset, where when one is (quite often) incapacitated, either being illegally beset upon by eight officers, or just plain vanilla knocked out, one's phone can be easily unlocked.

Another 'plus' for biometric id is the 'free' (well technically, corporate slave sponsored) data it generates which is then taken to further enhance government public scanning programs.

Pattern, picture of PIN unlock is still considered more secure especially with any interaction with Australia's law enforcement (which can go pear shaped very quickly through no fault of your own), unless of course the officers involved are practicing Roman Catholics of yesteryear, where a 'little' torture goes a long way, like the judicial system did back in the day.
