The company who stated that the Face ID is not an effective security measure, explained that they have used a popular 3D printer, nose, and skin made by a handmade artist and used 2D printing for other parts like eyes and a costs of about $150 to fool the Face ID Feature.

Ngo Tuan Anh, Bkav’s Vice President of Cyber Security, said:
The mask is crafted by combining 3D printing with makeup and 2D images, besides some special processing on the cheeks and around the face, where there are large skin areas, to fool AI of Face ID.

It appears that Apple may have told a little lie about the strength of the iPhone X, as a twitter user has recently uploaded the first broken iPhone X image on his twitter handle. According to Apple, the front and back of the smartphone are made from the strongest glass hence can survive a free fall.

The photo which was attached to a tweet, shows the rear glass on the users iPhone X completely shattered after its owner dropped the device same day it was bought. Imagine buying a phone for $1,000 and the next minute it sustained such massive damage just from a single fall. Details about the damage was not fully stated but from the photo, it sure looks as if the device was smashed by a truck. See photo of the damage phone below.

You are right that is what I did after I notice the problem was not going away. Enabling SSL (https) will help to solve the problem. You can check new my site https://techchairman.com/ is working fine.

Dclique:
The solution to this is to enable https (SSL) on your blogger custom domain.

This is very technical and blogger is yet to provide a solution. However they are other ways to do this if you don't want to wait for Blogger.

But Glo should really do somethng about this. why are they the only ISP being affected. smh
