Apple Gives Security The Finger

I always get downvoted for saying stuff like this, but here it is: TouchID is not easy to hack at all. It isn't a hack at all. That's how the damn scanner works. You give an input and the scanner will verify. Just think about encryption which does not solve confidentiality, authenticity and integrity at once. The scanner itself was never meant to do all three things. Such article is misleading the average consumers.
