I just read about Apples face recognition technology being hacked. Are you bullet proof secured against that?
The technology in it self is not 100% bullet proof as it is today. To be 100% bullet proof we also need to solve the problem of twins who can login to each others phones. This is both apple, samsung and other phones.
We are protecting each account with a password in our first stages, and the password will be there until the technology is 100% bullet proof. In our whitepaper, we are talking about things that needs to be solved. To make the system bullet proof.
The hack you read about, is that the Vietnamese hack where they used a mask to unlock the phone?
But take a look at this video, shows the security and the problems we face. In the video they also use a mask, at the Vietnamese hack:

Thank you!
we are not here to fool people into thinking we can change the world by tomorrow. Things will take time. We believe in this technology, and it will for sure play a big part of the future. Both of blockchain and other aspects in life. We are not afraid of speaking about the pro and the cons. Because they are there. If we promissed people that the technology was 100% today, then we would be lying, and that is not any of our intensions with this. We are here to do a difference for the blockchain technology, not just to be pointed out as scammers or liars.
Regarding the hack. There are these things you should pass by to hack into the persons account on Biometrids platform. As the system is today.
1: You should know the person has an account.
2: You should have a 3D picture of the person.
3: You should have a 3D printer.
4: You should have the persons password.
It is much easier to unlock the phone, as long as it is your own face that you use to manipulate. Then you have everything you need with in reach. When it comes to getting another persons face in a 3D pucture it get much more complicated. Combine this with a password on top and its just like 2 factor authentication we know from websites today.
You can watch a video of the hack here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA025AkNPY0It took them 9 hours, to setup the mask before it unlocked the phone. Then add that you might not even know if the person has an account. You could waste a lot of time for nothing.
