pin code

The neural network was taught to recognize the user’s PIN code using data from the accelerometer, light sensor and other smartphone sensors with an accuracy of 84 percent. The developers note that applications do not need to ask for user permission to access these sensors, according to the...

Experts continue to be amazed at how hackers manage to begin the practical use of methods that a year ago were considered only theoretically possible, and only in a narrow academic environment. Now they have learned to remove PIN codes from our cards without directly entering the ATM we use. To...

I noticed that people often talk about the reasons for not requesting a PIN code, or, on the contrary, they are surprised why it was suddenly required. Trying to explain in what situations a PIN code is needed, I got confused and decided to collect data and write an article. Theory Let's look...

Despite the important role of PIN codes in the world's infrastructure, there has been no academic research into how people actually choose PIN codes. Cambridge University researchers Sören Preibusch and Ross Anderson have corrected the situation by publishing the world's first quantitative...

Researchers have proven that a deep learning algorithm can guess 4-digit card PIN codes, even if the victim covers them with his hands when entering the numbers at an ATM. The algorithm worked correctly in 41% of cases. However, an attack using this algorithm requires obtaining an exact copy...

Good day everyone! After reading several articles about plastic cards, POS terminals and related things, it seemed to me that this topic is quite interesting to the community. In this short publication, I want to finally analyze the topic of entering a PIN code on POS terminals and finally...

Researchers in the field of cybersecurity have shown how a machine learning algorithm can guess the PIN of a bank card, even if the victim covers the input panel with his hand. Finding out the coveted four numbers turned out in 41% of attempts. This attack vector assumes that attackers will...
