It is. Wasn’t hacked until we see setup process. Your data is safe...safer than with TouchID.
It’s ok buddy.
Maybe he's not a criminal and has nothing to worry about.

No doubt the FBI is after everyone here.
Even with the lower cost of 3-D printing, it's still not a job for computer neophytes. In fact, one wonders does this actually work in true "real world" conditions.
Haha. Now I understand your patronizing tone. I totally responded to the wrong comment.. LOL sorry, my bad.
We may see police "law enforcement" making some masks when they have the person's likeness already. And they are not able to simply hold the phone in front of said prisoner's face (!).
I don't have the keys to Fort Knox I get it...I never intended to come off as someone important enough for anyone to care about stealing my private information. I think this is where you misunderstand that I'm merely pointing out that FaceID is not as secure as TouchID. It's harder to replicate someone's fingerprint unless you are really hellbent on getting their fingerprint for purposes of stealing their identity, in which case, millions of X users should care about. If they have Apple Pay set up, Keychain turned on to use for passwords and credit cards, etc (for example). If you don't think that's information that anyone should worry about someone stealing then you have more confidence in FaceID than some people. I happen to care a lot about security and privacy, and all these recent videos that are coming out, doesn't give me 100% confidence that my information is more secure than before.
So what is it $200 or several hundred? $200, maybe worried a little, several hundred, not so much.
Also any method of accurate biometric recognition is safer than using card which can be duped or stolen.
These guys are marking it seem like Face ID is a terrible thing while realistically they probably spent hours of research and building time, multiple failed attempts to which at that point Face ID would be disabled due to time limit, plus you’d need a really accurate picture of someone’s face and even if it’s a celebs face probably hard to get a perfect replica mask model on the first try.
I’m not worried at all, these guys are just looking for publicity, plus unlike Touch ID, Face ID can improve with software updates so it can only get more secure.
You realize that people can lift your prints from anywhere you’ve been. And now they can just take a decent picture of your finger...use your kids PLAYDOH and voila!! Your TouchID is open doors!
Again, it is far EASIER and CHEAPER to break into TouchID.
So someone steals your phone. Then they have 48 hours to create an exact replica of your face, eyes and all. Then have two chances to get it unlocked.
Even in the video he has to concentrate very hard on we’re he puts the phone for it to unlock. I’d like to know how many chances he had to get it right

And you're more likely to get struck by lightning than having that happen.
It would take alot of work and money to do and I doubt that anyone can even make an acurate enough mask first try from some picture and not a 3D modeling camera, and Face ID will probably disable before they can get in. Plus Touch ID is hardware, can only improve with hardware, Face ID is mostly software and can and probably will improve with software updates
I honestly don’t think you or anyone has anything to worry about now and especially in the future
It is interesting. I think the real test would be to demonstrate unlocking a phone belonging to someone who was NOT cooperating with the effort. The subject should be aware of the test and consent, but should not pose for any scans. The mask data must be recorded in the ways you describe...with hidden cameras and he like.
I suppose you are right considering Apple is always looking to beef up the security of their iOS. I hope I never have to read someone's identity being stolen due to a failed FaceID. I know the feeling of being victimized by identity theft. It's the worst thing to go through just to prove you are who you say you are.
I doubt you could even make an acurate enough 3D mask with just pictures. I do 3D printing and to make and acurate 3D model of something without a 3D scanner is difficult as hell, you need to take like over 100 picture from 100 angles and I doubt you would be able to get enough point to match with that method and i can honestly say I’ve never made an acurate 3D model of anything with this method, no matter how many pictures I take, and in a controlled environment. Even with a 3D scanner you would need complete cooperation and a long time to get a good model.
