About this tag
The wbs tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Windows Hello for Business security vulnerabilities, specifically the Faceplant and Face Swap attacks demonstrated at Black Hat. These attacks allow a local administrator to inject a malicious biometric template into Windows Hello, bypassing facial recognition authentication. Microsoft's Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) can block the technique, but many enterprise devices lack ESS support. The tag also includes a user query about using WBS (likely WindowBlinds) to customize fonts in a Mac OS X skin, which caused login issues after a restart. This tag is relevant for IT administrators and security professionals concerned with Windows Hello biometric security and enterprise deployment gaps.
