Why Rocking a Peace Sign in Your Photos Can Put You in Danger
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2021
- You snap a vacation selfie with your fingers in a peace sign, and post it to your social media. It gets you likes, comments, all that good stuff. The next day someone breaks into your banking app. Someone just stole your identity, all thanks to that innocent little selfie! Researchers in Japan managed to scan and copy fingerprints from a photo taken about 9 feet away. Normal quality, fingerprints in focus, and some good lightning. That’s all it takes apparently!
The better the image quality, the easier it is. So, if you have one of the latest smartphones, you’re in the high risk zone. When someone gets access to your fingerprint, cyber bad guys can get rich off that kind of data. You probably use your thumb to log into apps, including your banking ones. That’s your money and personal info, up for grabs to the highest bidder. So, here's how you can stop these fingerprint thieves and other essential tips to keep your data secure online!

Do not share your voice with anyone, Just hang up immediatly:
Bright side sharing his voice to 38M people:
@Demir Gursesler it's just two of them
5 million down
we dont know the narrators identity so its fine
That’s not his real voice. Voices like this are used in many other channels like this if you didn’t know
@Hermione Granger-Weasley oh, sorry k thought it was 2 of them
hackers: does not know about this
bright side: teaches hackers how to do it
my life: OVER
Same thing I said
Actually this is plain BS because it's impossible to get your fingerprint from such a technically low quality image

Dude. I seriously just read your comment THE SECOND HE SAID IT.. I WAS LIKE WHAAAAAT
Plot twist: He is not trying to show us how to prevent this from happening he’s trying to teach us how we can do this for ourselves without teaching us. Lol idk, something like that.😂
everyone: we should not use peace sign for safety

I have it but I don't have any passwords because of my mom

Bro, just turn your hand around and do the peace sign.
Then, you're safe.
Edit:Uhh did not realize all these replies were on my comment 🤣😂
I don't really care about the likes
yeah
Ikr 😂😂😂
Use your knuckle to access your phone. The fingerprint reader doesn't know it's not a finger.
The backwards peace symbol is a white supremacist signal. I'd be careful with that.
@@dabullzfan25 does it rlly work

Yeah,
They (and other idols) are maybe a bit more safe with the "korean finger heart" (well maybe not tho if I think about it👁👄👁) but they still use the peace sign a lot xDDD well like the majority of Asian ppl, and of course now the majority of every younger aged ppl xD well let's hope they are careful about defending their important data~

I know I'm very late but if doing a peace sign works does that mean that just holding out your palm would work to because you palm can show fingerprints to

In the future, for security reasons, we will have to keep our eyes closed in pictures because of retinal scans.

Y'know, you could still use a peace sign in your photos as long as you wear gloves when you do it lol
Underrated comment
Me:**Casually peace sign in a photo**
Someone:Peace was never an option
Fun fact: you can use a photoshoper or any editing app and make the fingerprint smoother so nobody can use ur data

Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Bright side: G E O R G E B E A N
Who's dat?
My question to you , if people can access your fingerprint through picture's, they can access your devices with face unlock using your photo's
Me: turns the hand around and does the peace sign
✨Big brain✨
Very useful!

Thank you for those useful tips about the dangers of everything you mentioned in that video. It's very scary to think that someone is out there using your identity and you're unaware of it all, and when you do realize, it's too late. So, thank you once again Bright Side 😊
