iPhone 5S Fingerprint Scanner: Security Flaw

Apple’s new iPhone 5S features the latest in phone-unlocking security: a fingerprint scanner.

The company announced that its Touch ID fingerprint sensor would read fingerprints at a highly detailed level, boasting a capacitive sensor at 170 microns thin and a 500 ppi resolution. It’s James Bond-level technology that could revolutionize lock screens.

However, as shown in the image above, a clever little girl seems to have wasted no time in finding a simple way to breach security of this new technology.
