The hack that could make face recognition think someone else is you

Face recognition is rapidly proliferating as a way to identify people at airports and in high security scenarios—but it's far from foolproof.

Researchers have demonstrated that they can fool a modern face recognition system into seeing someone who isn’t there.

A team from the cybersecurity firm McAfee set up the attack against a facial recognition system similar to those currently used at airports for passport verification. By using machine learning, they created an image that looked like one person to the human eye, but was identified as somebody else by the face recognition algorithm—the equivalent of tricking the machine into allowing someone to board a flight despite being on a no-fly list.

Jimmy Watson, #McAfee’s head of security discusses the dead man’s switch” McAfee had in place in the event he was killed. Watson says McAfee told him he had terabytes of information on very powerful people, then produced an envelope with hard drives and cash and said they were going to Miami.

Watson says the handoff happened at a cafe. McAfee gave the envelope to two men, walked out, and said: “If anything happens to me, I did not kill myself, and that information will be released. “

On June 23, 2021, a Spanish court approved McAfee’s extradition to the United States. Hours later he was found dead in his cell in Barcelona. Officials said it was suicide by hanging.

In the early morning of June 24, 2021, the day Champlain Towers South in Surfside Florida collapsed, around 1:30 a.m. hours after McAfee died in Spain, ninety-eight people were killed. Watson claims that tower was McAfee’s residence and as the site the switch pointed to.

After the collapse, something very strange happened: israel sent the IOF Home Front Command’s National Rescue Unit to help with rescue efforts. (7 min, 25 sec)
