Apple Touch ID Fingerprint Reader Hack Heightens Biometrics Debate

Chaos Computer Club hackers defeat Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint fingerprint feature. Hackers say it’s proof that fingerprint readers should be viewed skeptically. Security expert: “It is plain stupid to use something that you can’t change and that you leave everywhere every day as a security token” Attacker: “Sure, it’s not highly secure, but the average end user will most likely still use and rely on the scanner” Apple did not respond to a request for comment, but security expert says it’s a good trade-off for convenience.”]
