CCC Says Apple iPhone 5S TouchID Broken

[wraggster]

Chaos Computer Club claims to have"managed to break Apple's TouchID (http://www.paritynews.com/2013/09/23/2871/apple-iphone-5s-touchid-broken/) using everyday material and methods available on the web. Explaining their method on their website (http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid), the CCC hackers have claimed that all they did was photograph a fingerprint from a glass surface, ramped up the resolution of the photographed fingerprint, inverted and printed it using thick toner settings, smeared pink latex milk or white woodglue onto the pattern, lifted the latex sheet, moistened it a little and then placed it on the iPhone 5S' fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone."
