Face recognition technology broke a huge scandal.
Just now, a major discovery made by Tsinghua University was the use of vulnerabilities in face recognition technology to "unlock 19 unfamiliar domestic smartphones in 15 minutes", which stunned our little friends in the technology circle.
To describe this incident in simple words: "Hello, your new phone is not bad. Let me have a look?"
Then, the other party holds your phone, snaps it, and unlocks with face recognition. Your phone will automatically turn on.
All functions, information; let anyone kill! ! !
Isn’t it super incredible? ? ?
After reading the detailed process below, you will be even more surprised. The following picture comes from: "Brave Breaking News" by the RealAI team of Tsinghua University, please take a look:
The whole process is actually very simple. The RealAI team at Tsinghua University selected a total of 20 mobile phones, one of which is foreign, and the other 19 are our domestic smartphones, ranking among the top five domestic mobile phone brands. Selected 3-4 mobile phone models at different prices, covering low-end phones to flagship phones.
The first step: Tsinghua University testers bind all 19 domestic mobile phones and face recognition to the next "Classmate No. 1"
Step 2: Ask the classmates and colleagues next to him to pick up his mobile phone and perform face recognition.
Direct recognition, can't open! (Found by the system)
However, here comes the most exciting part.
The third step: Take the photo of No. 1 student, especially the eyes. print it out. Paste on the glasses we usually wear.
Then, a miracle happened. . .
All 19 domestic smartphones were successfully unlocked.
Judging from the degree of cracking, there is almost no difference in the difficulty of attacking these phones. Whether it is a low-end phone or a high-end phone with a price of more than 4000, all are unlocked in seconds. . .
With a snap, all are automatically unlocked! ! !
So, is this a coincidence? ? ?
The sudden success made the researchers at Tsinghua University themselves feel a bit weird. The smart phone we use every day, the face recognition system is so fragile? ? ?
We must know that in some internationally renowned hacker challenges, projects that challenge face recognition technology are often accompanied by several attempts and failures.
"Such a result was quite unexpected. We thought it would need to be tuned a few more times, but we didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed." ---The algorithm staff of the RealAI team at Tsinghua University said that they did not expect it. . .
In order to further verify, the research institute of Tsinghua University subsequently re-tested it, identifying faces of various people, different domestic mobile phones, and different owners. Re-tested:
As a result, everyone was shocked! ! In almost all tests, domestic mobile phones are "open in seconds"! It was unlocked in one click. . .
Including pictures, videos, APP applications, and even mobile banking in your mobile phone, all can be used freely! !
Suddenly, Tsinghua University was completely popular. Today, every colleague in our science and technology circle is bewildered by this major discovery. .
Although, we have thought before that artificial intelligence technology is a new technology, and there will definitely be incomplete places. But today when someone really broke this scene, we were still shocked. .
Just before writing the manuscript, the RealAI research team of Tsinghua University also said something like this:
The existing face recognition technology is far from reliable. On the one hand, it is restricted by the maturity of the technology, and on the other hand, it is ignored by the technology provider and application side.
"Successfully unlocking the phone is actually only the first step. In fact, we found through testing that many applications on the phone, including government and financial applications, can pass authentication by countering sample attacks, and we can even pretend to be the owner online. After opening a bank account, the next step is to transfer money."
too frightening! Face recognition, this time we must completely swipe the screen!

I don’t know if you have any impression of the incident reported by the Beijing Daily not long ago:
A certain man was going to buy a house, so he went to a favorite sales office to inspect the house. After reading it, the man was more satisfied with the house, so he asked the price.
Including asking the sales office, and also asking different real estate agents for prices, discounts! ! After shopping around, the man found the best offer, "officially buy a house"! !
However, what happened next made everyone feel "unbelievable." According to the "Beijing Daily" report, this consumer who bought a commercial house in a real estate in the South Fourth Ring not long ago told reporters that he discovered that he had been facially recognized before signing the contract.
As a result, although he signed the contract accompanied by an agent, the face recognition system recorded that he had visited once, so he could not enjoy the 2% discount. "The difference between the two prices is nearly 200,000 yuan."
The man is very puzzled! When I went to the sales office for the first time, I didn't leave my real name and registration at all. How could I have my information? ?
The problem is actually the camera:
Maybe in our daily life, many times we are used to cameras and face recognition. Don't know what this means at all? ?
1. Cameras in many places now have a "face recognition function"; as long as you stay focused in one place for too long, it will be recorded by the camera.
2. Then your basic information will be recorded and archived!
3. Wearing a mask is useless. The current face recognition technology is so advanced that you can easily recognize it even if you wear a mask.
To put it simply: because the man didn't wear a helmet, he went and took a look at the house. Then it was recorded by the developer's camera and face recognition system.
The face recognition system automatically recognized the "identity information" of this man. Then suddenly this person lost 200,000 in confusion! ! !
To be honest, the house is not a roadside fruit, just ask it and buy it directly. Who is not shopping around, carefully consider and consider before deciding to buy! If it is because one face recognition has to pay 200,000 more than others, it is more than a grievance. . .
Moreover, this is not a problem of 200,000! Is this a problem of face recognition, abuse? ? ! !
If, anyone who comes here can use face recognition and shoot you casually. Then we "passers-by", under the hegemony of face recognition, not everyone has become "the emperor's new clothes."
The information is made public, let anyone watch it? ?

Remediation of face recognition is urgent!
The incidents exposed by Tsinghua University and the facial recognition incidents exposed by the Beijing Daily are not unique cases; take a look at the following netizen’s message:
A netizen said: Let me say something more terrifying. Last year I went to the bathroom in a mall in Hangzhou. There was a black square box hanging on the side of the washbasin. As soon as I stood, there was a voice from inside that let me look at this box. I was stunned, and subconsciously turned my head to take a closer look, curious to see what the box was for. As a result, a roll of paper came out inside. I just understood what a face recognition roll machine is. My face data was replaced by such a piece of toilet paper. Anyway, I knew in advance that I would never ask for this paper. There was really nowhere to sue. Up to now. This is no bottom line
Another example is the restaurant!
Recently, some netizens reported that Haidilao’s restaurants are now full of cameras. . There are dozens or hundreds of them. .
If it is only to prevent guests from "escaping orders" or "or losing items", then only 3-5 cameras are enough. Is it necessary for the audience to be so densely packed with cameras? ?
And, I wonder if you have paid attention? Now when you go to shopping malls, supermarkets, or even some roadside walks, you will find that many places have been installed with so many "cameras"! !
If it's just to prevent theft? That's too small a test, a small supermarket, restaurant does not need so much "high-tech". .
As we all know, face recognition technology, as a "high-tech" advocated by our country, is actually very, very versatile.
For example, take a high-speed train with your face:
For example, face payment:
If the business on the face recognition camera avatar is the same, everyone can set it up, set it everywhere, and collect our face pictures.
It is also collected when the eyes are open, and when the eyes are closed. In case you encounter bad guys, hackers, or criminals; once it is used, the consequences will be unimaginable. .
This is not alarmist, it is true! Xinhua News Agency has reported:
Betrayal of real photos!
"Xinhua News Agency" reported such incidents at the end of October. I didn't even care at the time.
Now think about it, I am really "too naive"! !
Written at the end:
It is undeniable that the face recognition system is indeed more convenient in some respects.
For example, the reason why we were able to quickly control the epidemic this year. It’s not that our medical technology is better than that of Europe and the United States. The real reason is that our big data capabilities, face recognition capabilities, and location tracking technologies are more powerful. Once we find out where an epidemic is occurring, we can quickly identify people who may be contacted. Time for isolation treatment. .
But now it's different! !
When we found a small developer, we can now exercise state power! Without any notification to us, when we directly grasp our private information on "face recognition";
When we discovered that the original so-called smart phone, the face unlocking function is just like "the emperor's new clothes", so simple that it can be cracked.
Even a small hot pot restaurant or restaurant on the side of the road can install dozens or hundreds of cameras at random to take pictures and record our information.
Even when you go to the toilet, you have to be recognized by your face and take away our face data! !
It is clear! ! Face recognition has "changed flavor". . .
Yes, indeed! In the early days, the country was innovating for big data and improving the technology of face recognition; for technology, as long as you were not doing bad things, you just kept one eye open.
But now it's different!
The current face recognition technology has been completely "abuse"; even wearing a mask can be easily recognized, and now even wearing glasses, we can easily unlock our mobile phones.
If you leave it alone, one hundred percent will happen! !
Finally, thank Tsinghua University! Thank you RealAI, the artificial intelligence research team of your school, for bravely stepping up and exposing the huge scandal of artificial intelligence to the public!
