Watch Out, Your Fingerprint Can Be Spoofed, Too
3rd March 2016
Turns out a fingerprint can be “spoofed,” just like a password. Jason Chaikin, president of New York City-based Vkansee, which develops fingerprint-based security systems, says he can hack the fingerprint sensor of an iPhone in 10 minutes.
At his booth at the Mobile World Congress here, he showed Digits how. The good news: It still takes a bit of work, as well as cooperation from the victim.
Bad news for Stupid People.
