Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims
dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 months agoYes, the phone does, but that data is protected in the hardware and never sent to the software, the hardware basically just sends ok / not ok. It’s not impossible to hack in theory, nothing is, but it would be a very major security exploit in itself that would deserve a bunch of articles on it’s own.

Pretty sure this is not true. That’s how apple’s fingerprint scanners work. On android the fingerprint data is stored either in the tpm or a part of the storage encrypted by it.

Yeah, so the app never sees it. What are you disagreeing with?
Lojcs@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I just corrected that, can’t I without disagreeing?

I mean that I don’t know what part of my comment is “not true”. I welcome corrections, I just don’t see what is being corrected here.
