TECHi's Take
A German security company says spoofing the iPhone 5S’s fingerprint reader can be used to beat the phone’s “remote wipe” facility to carry out identity theft.
SRL demonstrates the hack on its website. It relies on the phone’s owner using a number of defaults in the setup of the phone. It does not work against iPhones without a fingerprint reader.
