iPhone's fingerprint tech hacked. (already)

By a European hacker group: "A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID" as claimed by the Chaos Computer Club.

 

 

The group also demonstrated a video with the hack that as claimed by them is a simple one, if you already have the fingerprint and is based on previous techniques for spoofing fingerprints. 

"First, the fingerprint of the enrolled user is photographed with 2400 dpi resolution. The resulting image is then cleaned up, inverted and laser printed with 1200 dpi onto transparent sheet with a thick toner setting. Finally, pink latex milk or white woodglue is smeared into the pattern created by the toner onto the transparent sheet. After it cures, the thin latex sheet is lifted from the sheet, breathed on to make it a tiny bit moist and then placed onto the sensor to unlock the phone."

you can also access someone's phone if you kidnap them and torture them until they give up their password and/or fingerprint.

Is everyone so stupid nowdays that they really believed this would be safe its a damn fingerprint scanner and those thing can be trciked with even a piece of paper and your fingerprint , only idiots would thuink there could be some big breaktrough and noone heard of it, if you still think fingerprint scanners are any good check out mythbusters on those things, only a fool would feel any safer thanks to fingerprint scanners

This does nothing if someone really wants your phone, it won't stop anyone. Tbh useless feature.

I think you are missing the point really and looking too deeply into it.
Its not supposed to be all 'James Bond'.
To me a finger print scanner is good because the common thief will have a harder time selling the phone on, so may be more reluctant to taking your phone over another.
However the real use of it is to stop the wife checking your texts and emails, end of story.
