German hackers have now discovered how to bypass Touch ID Scanner of iPhone 5s on the weekend applying a variation of a extensive running biometric safety flaw.
Basically what happens is the end user normally takes a high resolution image of original fingerprint, after that he prints this on a sheet which is transparent with a solid toner setting and ultimately it is actually filled up with the pink latex milk.

Here is How To Bypass Touch ID Scanner Of iPhone 5s
The following is the official clarification (through ZDNet) from the German Hackers who are using the name of “Chaos Computer Club”.
“The method follows the steps outlined in this how-to with materials that can be found in almost every household: First, the fingerprint of the enroled user is photographed with 2400 dpi resolution. The resulting image is then cleaned up, inverted and laser printed with 1200 dpi onto transparent sheet with a thick toner setting. Finally, pink latex milk or white woodglue is smeared into the pattern created by the toner onto the transparent sheet. After it cures, the thin latex sheet is lifted from the sheet, breathed on to make it a tiny bit moist and then placed onto the sensor to unlock the phone. This process has been used with minor refinements and variations against the vast majority of fingerprint sensors on the market.”
The normal person does not have likely any of such tools lying all around their home, but the number of hackers confirmed the idea that biometric security does not come without having flaws. I’m sure it will be the first of several bypasses to the surface all over Apple’s fingerprint Touch ID scanner, but this specific method is too complicated for the iPhone 5s users to worry about.
