iPhone 5s fingerprint scanner Touch ID 'hacked' by German group



A group of German hackers claimed to have cracked the iPhone fingerprint scanner on Sunday, just two days after Apple Inc launched the technology that it promises will better protect devices from criminals and snoopers seeking access.
If the claim is verified, it will be embarrassing for Apple which is betting on the scanner to set its smartphone apart from new models of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and others running the Android operating system of Google Inc .

Two prominent iPhone security experts told Reuters that they believed the German group, known as the Chaos Computing Club, or CCC, had succeeded in defeating Apple's Touch ID, though they had not personally replicated the work.

One of them, Charlie Miller, co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook, described the work as "a complete break" of Touch ID security. "It certainly opens up a new possibility for attackers."

Apple representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

CCC, one the world's largest and most respected hacking groups, posted a video on its website that appeared to show somebody accessing an iPhone 5s (Review) with a fabricated print. The site described how members of its biometrics team had cracked the new fingerprint reader, one of the few major high-tech features added to the latest version of the iPhone.

The group said they targeted Touch ID to knock down reports about its "marvels," which suggested it would be difficult to crack.

"Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything. You leave them everywhere, and it is far too easy to make fake fingers out of lifted prints," a hacker named Starbug was quoted as saying on the CCC's site.

The group said it defeated Touch ID by photographing the fingerprint of an iPhone's user, then printing it on to a transparent sheet, which it used to create a mold for a "fake finger."

CCC said similar processes have been used to crack "the vast majority" of fingerprint sensors on the market.

"I think it's legit," said Dino Dai Zovi," another co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook. "The CCC doesn't fool around or over-hype, especially when they are trying to make a political point."

Touch ID, which was only introduced on the top-of-the-line iPhone 5s, lets users unlock their devices or make purchases on iTunes by simply pressing their finger on the home button. It uses a sapphire crystal sensor embedded in the button.

Data used for verification is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave of the phone's A7 processor chip.

Two security experts who sponsored an impromptu competition offering cash and other prizes to the first hackers who cracked the iPhone said they had reviewed the information posted on the CCC website, but wanted more documentation.

"We are simply awaiting a full video documentation and walk through of the process that they have claimed," said mobile security researcher Nick DePetrillo, who started the contest with another security expert, Robert Graham. "When they deliver that video we will review it."

The two of them each put up $100 toward a prize for the contest winner, then set up a website inviting others to contribute. While the booty now includes more than $13,000 in cash, it was not clear that the CCC would receive the full payout, even if DePetrillo and Graham declared them winners.

A micro venture capital firm known as I/O Capital, which had offered to pay $10,000 of the prize money, issued a press release late on Sunday saying that it would make its own determination about who won the contest.

Probably for security/privacy reason.. Because you need to enter passcode before accessing it!

Try this on your iOS7 iPhone.

1) Lock the screen (password protected for security).
2) Press emergency call while the phone is locked.
3) Enter any telephone number you wish to call.
4) Tap the call button continuously, quick succession, and without stop. Sooner or later your phone will reboot.
5) Listen to the earpiece and noticed that it dialed the non emergency number.

Neat feature eh? Now anybody can use your phone for IDD calls even if it's locked and password protected.

Apple releases iOS 7.0.1 to patch fingerprint scanner bug
Summary: iPhone 5s users can now use the built-in fingerprint scanner to authenticate iTunes purchases as opposed to entering a password. But a more serious lock screen bug present in iOS 7 remains unpatched.

iPhone 5s slaughters quad-core rivals in performance tests despite dual-core CPU and just 1GB of RAM

Anandtech found that the iPhone 5s bested leading rival smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and LG G2 in each and every CPU performance test performed, often by a fairly wide margin. In some tests such as the Sunspider Javascript Benchmark and the Google Octane, the iPhone 5s’s margin of victory over most rivals was staggering.

The iPhone 5s outshined rivals in most GPU performance tests as well, and while I won’t spoil Shimpi’s conclusions, he came away very impressed. Those interested in analyzing the iPhone 5s from a technical standpoint should absolutely read Anandtech’s full review.

It seems like Samsung made the A7 chip better than their Exynos 5.

More Than Half Of iOS Users Running Latest Version Of Apple's Mobile Software

The numbers may vary — and singer Miley Cyrus may hate it — but the trend is pretty clear: iPhone and iPad users are embracing the new version of Apple’s iOS 7 mobile operating system.

A week after Apple released iOS 7 on Sept. 18, more than half of iPhone and iPad users are now running the software, according to Chitika. Mixpanel, a mobile analytics firm, puts iOS 7 adoption at about 60 percent as of today.

“One week following the release of iOS 7, over 51 percent of North American iOS-based Web traffic was generated by iOS 7 users,” Chitika, which has been tracking iOS 7 adoption through its ad network, said today. In comparison, about 47 percent of U.S. users had downloaded iOS 6 in the first week after its release a year ago.

“I hate the iPhone update,” Cyrus tweeted on Sept. 19 to her more than 14 million followers.

Apple said this week that more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the new version, which was designed under the guidance of Apple’s longtime hardware design chief Jony Ive. That number includes the more than 9 million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c smartphones the company said it sold in opening weekend sales.
