Four FireEye researchers have found a way to steal fingerprints from
Android phones packing biometric sensors such as the Samsung Galaxy
S5 and the HTC One Max.

The team found a forehead-slapping flaw in HTC One Max in which
fingerprints are stored as an image file (dbgraw.bmp) in a open
"world readable" folder.


Good grief
