A computer club in Germany may have cracked the new iPhone fingerprint recognition technologyHackers have been hard at work trying to crack the new iPhone's fingerprint recognition technology. Numerous rewards are up for grabs, including money, bitcoins and gifts.
There are concerns over Apple's fingerprint technology as a concern would be that if the technology was cracked, then after stealing someone's thumbprint, hackers could impersonate you for the rest of your life.
The website istouchidhackedyet.com, set up by Nick DePetrillo and Robert Graham, lists a number of people offering rewards - including one for $10,000 from IO Capital, a venture capital company - to the first person who can reliably and repeatedly break into an iPhone 5S by lifting prints (like from a beer mug).
Still, the iPhone is still in the Top 10 list of Smartphones, and it's only just been released!
If you want a new iPhone 5S, they are available from the Carphone Warehouse, Three and O2 and competitive prices, both for the phone and the tarrifs. If you want 4G, check that it is available in your area... You may have to wait for it!
