iPhone 5S: Thieves may mutilate owners to access fingerprint-reading handsets

Avatar of Editorial Team Editorial Team September 12, 2013

Thieves have mutilated victims to gain access to phones equipped with a fingerprint reader, an expert has warned.

Yesterday, Apple launched its iPhone 5S, which includes the Touch ID feature, an integrated sensor on the device’s home button that reads your fingerprint in order to unlock your phone.

Marc Rogers said the sensors can provide a convenient way to unlock gadgets while also boosting security.
