iPhone's fingerprint tech hacked. (already)

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."

I love how everyone hates on this because it's from Apple. People never complained about Google's face recognition unlock even though it's a pile of garbage because you don't have to use it. This is no different, except it's actually useful.


The Face recognition was pretty rubbish. It was easy to trick, only needed a photo, and that's if it even recognised your own face in bad light.

The same could be said for passwords.


Of course if you phone is stolen it won't help a bit it will be in someone elses use in future for sure. No matter the security

I didn't even have a clue it had such useless feature :o

This is really aimed at the people (like me) who couldn't be bothered to use a passcode on their device because I'd rather get into the phone faster.
