Hackers claim to crack iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner

Originally published on September 23, 2013 br br A group of hackers has claimed to have defeated the latest iPhone security fingerprint scanner. br br The Berlin-based group called Chaos Computer Club, announced they had successfully hacked into an iPhone 5S on Sunday.br br They are in the running to receive a $20,000 bounty offered to the first hacker to be able to crack the new iPhone. br br The group posted step by step instructions online.br br Once a fingerprint sample is secured, it is dusted with powder and then the powder is solidified with a superglue component.br br After this, the fingerprint is clearly defined and can be photographed at a 2400 dpi resolution. br br The photo is then uploaded and edited for clarity and then printed onto a transparent sheet using a heavy toner. br br Once the toner is set, the fake fingerprint is covered with wood glue.br br Once the wood glue is dry, it can be peeled off and will be a replica for the original fingerprint. This can then be used to open the iPhone.br br --------------------------------------------------------br br TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
