(Cupertino, CA) Do you think you can hack into Apple’s new iPhone fingerprint?
A new website is offering $16,000 to the first person who can successfully hack the touch ID sensor on the new iPhone 5s.
Phone owners must register their fingerprint with the device and can unlock their phone by placing the registered finger on the home button.
To collect the reward, a hacker must lift a fingerprint from the phone or elsewhere and reproduce it in a way that will unlock the phone.
The creators of the site are “white hat” hackers, meaning they are hackers intending to improve computer security.
