iPhone could be hacked using just Play-Doh, security firms suggestFebruary 26, 2016 - 12:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Keep your iPhones away from roving gangs of toddlers because they can now hack your device with Play-Doh, Digital Spy warns. Some security firms have found it is possible to illegally gain access to devices using clays like Play-Doh to imitate fingerprints. And it's not just Play-Doh that can lead to your mobile downfall. "Common material like wax, dental material and clay can be used to create a fingerprint impression," Jason Chaikin of fingerprint sensor company Vkansee told the Wall Street Journal. "You put that on to your fingerprint, and then you can add it onto your phone." According to Digital Spy, there is more bad news - you leave a fingerprint every time you swipe on your iPhone, so a simple strip of paper pressed against your phone can copy that print. Thankfully, tech companies are hard at work right now developing ways to make it more difficult to successfully spoof a print. “Until there's a safety upgrade, keep your mobile device close while in the company of treacherous tots,” Digital Spy suggests.
