In a post on their site, the group says that their biometric hacking team took a fingerprint of the user, photographed from a glass surface, and then created a ‘fake fingerprint’ which could be put onto a thin film and used with a real finger to unlock the phone. The claim, which is backed up with a video, will create concerns for businesses which see users intending to use the phone to access corporate accounts.”
