To all those Apple fans who ran to the Apple store to buy the iPhone 5S. It is funny that the new top notch security finger print scanner included with the iPhone 5S which was most hyped by all the iPhone 5S fans was cracked less than 48 hours of the iPhone 5S hitting the shelves. The new iPhone 5S tocuh ID Sensor is not as secure as Apple would like you to believe, and should not be used instead of the numbering locking mechanism. Just ignore the Apple misleading statement of this feature making your iPhone more secure as it is exactly the opposite.
As Announced all over the news for the past week, the new iPhone 5S touch ID was cracked in the less than 24 hours by a German Hacker which the video below show the full process he took to crack the iPhone 5S finger print in a step by step fashion. He further claimed, that such procedure can be completed within 30 minutes if he was better prepared. Enjoy the step by step video on how to crack the all new Apple iPhone 5S biometric.

Alright, while we are not a big fan of the Apple iPhone in here it is worth taking our advice on this front to avoid using the Apple iPhone 5S Touch ID Sensor as a method to secure your Phone/Data as it fall short and easier/faster to crack than the numerical locking(Traditional method of locking the iPhone) especially if you configure it to wipe your phone clean after a number of failing attempts.
We highly recommend against the usage of the iPhone 5S fingerprint sensor to secure an iPhone that contain any sensitive data including your corporate e-mail. Hope iPhone users will listen to our advice which is already going all over the news and protect their phones with a better mechanism than the newly hyped fingerprint sensor. Sorry if that torn up a feature that you paid hefty for, but securing your data should be of a higher priority I hope.
