      Yes.

      t’s not clear if Microsoft will be able to fix these latest flaws alone, though. “Microsoft did a good job designing Secure Device Connection Protocol (SDCP) to provide a secure channel between the host and biometric devices, but unfortunately device manufacturers seem to misunderstand some of the objectives,” writes Jesse D’Aguanno and Timo Teräs, Blackwing Intelligence researchers, in their in-depth report on the flaws. “Additionally, SDCP only covers a very narrow scope of a typical device’s operation, while most devices have a sizable attack surface exposed that is not covered by SDCP at all.”

      So microsoft made a standard… and it doesn’t cover the full scope of usage of these devices… Including their own surface pro x and thus can be abused. It’s almost like both the sensor choice, and the software is flawed.

      It’s becoming apparent that you and all the other downvoters are just windows fanbois.

      Also

      The researchers found that Microsoft’s SDCP protection wasn’t enabled on two of the three devices they targeted.

      So they recommend to enable this protocol… simply because it’s better overall… But the third device was still vulnerable!

      But yeah… I’m the one with reading comprehension problems. Totally.

      Edit: You also still failed to articulate how this absolves MS from anything. They created the standard. They can’t choose sensors that use it properly? So either MS is ignorant, or willfully breaking their own standard. Care to actually address how MS isn’t at fault still?
