 to improving safety and with each new device ensures greater protection of user data. Alas, data encryption, two-step authentication, notification to e-mail for any gestures with an account and a fingerprint sensor TouchID does not save the user from tampering. Last year's "Know-how» TouchID in iPhone 5s have been subjected to hacking. Year of innovation has not changed anything, and a fingerprint reader in the brand new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is a proven technique lends itself to hacking. 

A year ago TouchID on iPhone 5s are hacked one of the most common methods in criminology: a shell smartphone had to take fingerprints of the owner, and then, with a few tricky operations of the scanned image was created thin substrate, repeating pattern fingertip. 
Smartphone hacking took an average of about 30 hours. Installed in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sensor TouchID has significant structural differences, but the functionality remains the same. It also lends itself to breaking the good old method, but it requires a clearer print. 

Despite this, the ability to bypass TouchID jeopardizes the entire financial system safety Apple Pay.
