if someone has your phone and the ability to acquire/demand your fingerprints do you seriously think they arent?
I agree that its only likely as a targeted attack though. This isn't the sort of thing you will see street criminals doing.
- gress 12y agoIf someone has your phone and the ability to demand your fingerprints, what possible value is an additional 4-digit pin going to be?
- cjunky 12y agoa four digit pin? not much. A strong passphrase? quite a lot actually. It means they cant get access to your data without your cooperation.
- bruceboughton 12y agoBut they can get your fingerprints without your co-operation? Faster than you can lock the device from iCloud/Find my iPhone?
- cjunky 12y agoThat depends on who and why. A skilled person or organization yes. Obtaining the latent prints probably isn't the hard part, I imagine stealing someones trash would be enough for that. The tricky part is making a clone accurate and detailed enough that it works in less than 6 attempts.
