They could just remotely access your phone, through specially engineered apps or potential back-doors, or download it during a routine security search. Depending on how accurate the sensor is, how much of the finger is captures, and how the software stores and compares the data, they could potentially get every person who has used your phone's home button. It would be similar to remotely turning on laptop webcams. (I think i'm starting to make myself paranoid.)

- cheald 13y agoYour cutlery doesn't have fingerprint digitizers and a wifi connection. I'm generally of the opinion that we can't trust any information on our devices to actually remain secret now.
- nwh 13y agoGenerally you would be a fool to anyway. Chances are that anybody can make their own fake finger with gummy bears and a print found on the glossy case. Same has always been true though, through bootrom exploits and simple shoulder surfing. Did you know your passcode can be more than 4 digits? Most people don't.
