Just one day after the launch of 5S iPhone, hackers in Germany was able to bypass his much vaunted Touch ID fingerprint scanning security technology.
Apple boasts about Touch ID that "your fingerprint is one of the best access codes in the world. Is always with you, and no two are exactly the same. " However it seems that it is quite possible to cheat the system with a relatively rough copy.
Hackers at the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) have revealed that the Apple Touch ID system can be bypassed using similar principles to the previous exploit fingerprint scanner.
According to a blog post by CCC, ID scanner Touch is very similar to previous technology implementations, only much higher resolution. "Actually," notes of a hacker called Starbug, "Apple's sensor has a higher resolution than the sensors so far."
As such, all you need to do to work around this issue is to increase the resolution of your fake.
It is to take a picture of 2400DPI the owner's fingerprint iPhone 5S, then reversing and prints the 1200DPI image on a sheet. Hackers used a laser printer and a thick frame toner.
Then they smear white wood glue on printing, allow you to set and raise it for fingerprints of false very own suitable to release a State-of-the-art smartphones.
"It's plain stupid to use something that you can change and if you leave everywhere every day as a security token," concluded Frank Rieger, spokesman for the CCC.
Of course, the need for a high-definition image Super finger constant of a source person suggests that the average iPhone user 5S has little to worry about. But any leaders or collaborators of the secret service might want to stick to access codes to ensure their phones.
