  4. I was wondering about this from another standpoint. What if you set-up Face-ID at the age of 10 and by the time you reach 12/13 your face has elongated enough that you can no-longer unlock your device. The twins thing I get but surely the security is flawed if a mere sibling (Yes they look similar but not identical) can unlock your device.

    I beg to differ the number of stories submitted has gone down by about 70% over the last two days clearly either people have found a better Nerds News Site or some are having access issues. It could be Geographic or ISP specific.

    It's clearly causing a slow news day. Normally I only encounter stories I read in yesterday's lunch hour on the second page today and yesterday I got less than 1/2 way down page 1.

    Was Equifax's security breached before or after the security flaws in Struts were made public?

    I can understand them blaming Struts if they were hacked before they knew the tool had been compromised but if it was after then then it's their own stupid fault for not patching a known security issue.
