> 1 in 50,000 probability means it requires trying up to 50,000 > different fingerprints until potentially finding a random match If you were hypothetically able to extract the hash from the "Secure Enclave" you could take a database of fingerprints (no doubt these exist somewhere: prison, military, customs, ...) and hash those to attempt to find a match. As Apple says, you have a 1 in 50,000 probability of randomly matching it. Once you find a hash match, you can then 3D print it and use it to unlock the device. A very impractical attack against the average Joe consumer. Someone would have to be a very high value target with sensitive information on their phone to use this, and that's assuming a direct extract via physical connection isn't the more viable option.
