Just put up the word

Japanese experts warn, raising words

Japanese experts warn, raising the "V" when taking photos will be vulnerable to hackers, stealing fingerprints.

Most people when taking photos, in addition to smiling really big mouth, many of you like to raise your finger "V" to take pictures. The "V" symbol not only represents " Victory - victory " or the symbol of peace, but also makes you look more cute.

However, Japanese experts recommend that, for safety purposes, you absolutely DO NOT SHOULD raise your "V" symbol when taking photos, especially close to the camera lens.

That's because hackers can completely steal your fingerprints through photos.

Biometric technology is growing and fingerprint scanning is believed to be one of the safe methods in the security system. However, hackers can take advantage of your vulnerability to steal fingerprints on your fingers in the photo at a distance of 3 meters.

From there they will easily fake identity cards or hack laptops, unlock fingerprints on your mobile phone.

Then soon, hackers will get the key to hack bank accounts, doors, cars . or hack your personal information.

Professor Isao Echizen of Japan National Informatics Research Institute said: " When taking the best photos, don't let your fingers appear on the screen in the lens, because most likely, your fingerprints are stolen and duplicated many times " .

He also reminded that, if your password is stolen, you have a chance to change another password , but to fingerprint it out - you have no way to cure it.

Currently, the Japan National Informatics Research Institute is developing a transparent protective film that hides fingerprints but does not affect fingerprint unlocking.

However, to be sure, if you don't want to be in trouble and fingerprints are suddenly stolen - give up the habit of raising the "V" when taking a picture.
