iPhone TouchID fingerprint biometrics broken by German hacker club

German hacking group Chaos Computer Club says its biometrics hacking team has discovered how to bypass the biometric security of Apple’s TouchID fingerprint authentication through a simple method based on a rubbery duplicate of a fingerprint the group devised. The gummy fingerprint trick is one that is well-known and has been used before to raise questions about how uncrackable some fingerprint-based bi-biometrics might be. The club says iPhone users should avoid protecting sensitive data with fingerprint bi-security because it can be easily faked.”]
