Is your mobile on the list? So insecure are these 42 mobile phones

There is a quite good reason that the facial recognition on Android phones is still not approved for to unlock, for example, MobilePay or app to your online banking up.

For a fresh study from the Dutch equivalent of the Consumer council Think now reveals, it is a bit like winning the lottery whether one's phone is secure or not.

the Organization has examined 110 models. And the result is scary.

42 of the phones, you could keep a nice portrait, up front, and the phone was locked up. A further six mobile phones let also hack with a good portrait, but have an option that makes it possible to increase the security.

Several of the phones sold in Denmark. It applies, among other things Nokia 3.1 and 7.1, the Motorola One, Huawei P20 Pro and the Sony Xperia XZ3.

If you own one of the phones in the list, it is therefore a good idea to consider whether you should turn off face detection and just use a pin combined with a fingerprint.
