Facial Recognition To Replace ATM Cards

[HardOCP News]

Imagine robberies in the near future. Before, criminals just needed your ATM card. Now they need your face or head.

Ohio-based security firm Diebold has created a cash machine that works like a tablet computer, pictured. The touchscreen ATM connects to smartphones by scanning QR codes, or uses facial recognition technology, instead of bank cards

Blink twice for duress.

Blink not at all for decapitation.

Son of a B... Dammit

Can it be fooled by a picture?

 

[MrPatate]

Hopefully it will be better than current technology. Because yes a pictures is good enough.
Maybe with 2 camera to prevent 2D looking like 3D it could work?

This reminds me, I was thinking of watching Silence of the Lambs again.

3D Printer, maybe?

I'd hope this would be dual-factor with the pin, not replacing the pin.

They're not going to put my face in a computer. I'll kill them first.

Thats dumb. What happens if you want someone to make a deposit for you after hours?

I think I may start accepting payment in tangible goods only.

 

[Parmenides]

So people who get black eyes from bar fights get penalized?

 

[AceGoober]

What if someone wants to log into their account with their ass? Will there be a sit and scan like people do with office copiers?

So I can put on a Bill Gates mask and withdraw a quick $20,000,000 right?

"Unique one-time security codes are sent to the phone by text message."

So you'd need a picture/model/mask of their face in addition to their mobile phone (or in one case your twin would need to steal your phone.)

"It is just one of the concepts recently showcased at a London conference."

Considering this CONCEPT would probably cause even more delays than current systems I seriously, seriously doubt it will be anything more than that... a concept.

Drunks will have hard time trying to withdraw their cash.

I can see profit in makeup artists and contact lenses moving over to the criminal sector out of this...it only takes a picture and a gummy bear to get around most all biotech in use today anyway.

I will trade you two goats for five hens. These are good goats. Sweet milk and very loving, if you know what I mean.

 

[Nenu]

I cant see this one going wrong.

 

[Dr. Righteous]

ATM?
Not used one of those in years. They still have those?

 

[melteye]

Very apparent no one read the article.

Calling diebold a "Security firm" is .....generous at best.

 

[/dev/null]

Also: What happens when I'm not in the US & need to withdraw cash & they don't have this fancy system...?

 

[amddragonpc]

Another solution looking for a problem.

 

[TechLarry]

Biometrics will be responsible for a marked increase in the number of dismembered bodies found at the scene.

It's winter and 20 below. I go to the ATM in a parka with my face wrapped up. I guess I'd be SOL...

In a lot of ways. First, you live somewhere that gets 20 below...
