Security researchers are urging Windows 10 users to update their system to prevent attackers from using a printed headshot to bypass Windows Hello facial authentication.

Researchers from German pen-testing firm SYSS report that Windows 10 systems that have not yet received the recent Fall Creators Update are vulnerable to a “simple spoofing attack using a modified printed photo of an authorized person”. The attack works against multiple versions of Windows 10 and different hardware.
