A group of lucky hammer had already nailed the iPhone 5 s fingerprint sensor. The phone will finally hit the surface sales Friday and another group is already preparing to penetrate this new security feature of the iPhone.
Well, the news is that the hacker community is ready to put his dirty hand by cracking in the new system of security sensor ID Touch of Apple. The sensor has been integrated on the home button on the iPhone 5 s. Two masters of security Robert David Graham and Nick Depetrillo have launched a website that says sensor system has not yet been broken by anyone.
The two began to collect rewards for anyone who becomes the first person to enter the security ID by the acquisition of fingerprints through some Cup or beer etc.
"Gummy bears had already been used by some hackers to acquire fingerprints", says Graham in conversation with ABC News. He added "we defend the fact that it is very difficult to do so and therefore began to collect a premium for the first lucky who can make...". »
People by hacking and security community have already begun to pay their contributions to the premium. #istouchidhackedyetis the hashtag with which the sums are paid. The sum has already reached a total of $ 16000 and contributions are made in the form of biticons, bottles of alcohol and money. Capital I/O partners have donated $ 10,000 to this effect.
Graham explained that a principle well established among the communities of security is that you can't trust anything unless you have a premium it tagged. The concept here is that of the return on investment. Well, if there's no return to stuff any piracy or to test where a security system is in fact, most of the hacker doesn't bother any fatigue. Similarly those who tries to make a dedicated effort. Some companies like Google, Facebook and some other big guns have announced rewards for those who will designate any security flaw in their system.
Graham said however the fact that where someone managed to hack the ID of contact, it must collect the premium of each person by himself/herself. In the meantime put all the award-winning news on its website.
No immediate response was given by Apple even after the request by ABC News. However, last week they have clarified the fact that fingerprints are encrypted in the processor of the iPhone.
