According to "fortune" website reported that it has been proved that using children playing silly putty can fool the fingerprint sensor.
The Wall Street journal reporter learned that, despite the fingerprint theft victims need to cooperate, deceive the fingerprint sensor is fairly simple. Vkansee fingerprint security technology company's chief executive, use mouth cavity mould won their fingerprints, and then use child playing silly putty replicates the fingerprints, opened up an iPhone and use the copy of fingerprint. Although tried several times, he finally succeeded.
