Crowdfunded Bounty For Hacking iPhone 5S Fingerprint Authentication

There's more than $13,000 pledged for a crowdfunded bounty for bypassing an iPhone 5S's fingerprint reader. The bounty, set up by a security expert and an exploit reseller requires entrants to lift prints 'like from a beer mug.' It has a website —IsTouchIDHackedYet — and payments are pledged by tweets using #IsTouchIDHackedYet. One drawback: the scheme appears to rely on trust that sponsors will actually pay up."Other prizes include whiskey, books, and a bottle of wine.
