The first rule they teach at "Hacking" class is "Nothing is 100% secure, and never will be". So this should not be any surprise that iPhone touch id gets hacked. So instead of thinking how to "100% secure" a product, we should focus that how to make it x% more secure than before. And that's what awesome engineers at apple did. So we should be happy that instead of copying someone's else devices, there are some engineers that are really into improving what is already there.
- danieldk 13y agoI think most people who are upset about this at the very least realize that a 4-digit PIN is not much, if any better. People are probably annoyed by Apple's marketing mumbo jumbo about about scanning sub-epidermal skin layers, etc., while (as shown) it is not that much better than existing fingerprint scanners.
- hyperpape 13y agoWell, the guys who hacked it said you did need a higher resolution picture/duplicate of the print, which may not be that big of a deal, but it is an improvement.
