| The iPhone 5S just launched, but the NYPD seems to be big fans of the new security features. | |
| Police officers were handing out flyers to people around New York City on Saturday, nudging them to upgrade their devices to Apple's new iOS 7 operating system, saying the software gives added security to your devices. | |
| Sure, the new iOS security features include a Find My iPhone activation lock, which when enabled would prevent a thief from disabling the tracking system. | |
| But a pretty major oversight lets thieves quickly and easily prevent users from using the Find My iPhone to track and locate their stolen device. | |
| Another flaw discovered by security experts lets anyone bypass PIN or passcode protected lock screens to send emails, update your status on social networks, access your photos, you name it. | |
| So does the added security come from the new fingerprint recognition software? | |
| The built-in fingerprint scanner reads a user's prints, replacing the need for a password. | |
| The phone uses a high-res image to determine whether the fingerprint belongs to the owner or not. | |
| And there's no need to worry about a thief coming along and chopping off your finger to use it to get into your phone. | |
| Apple says they already worked this out by making sure the sensor will only recognize a live finger with a recognizable pulse. | |
| But the iPhone 5S has only been out for the weekend and it's already been hacked. | |
| A German hacker group known as the Chaos Computing Club claims to have already defeated Apple's Touch ID using a fabricated print. | |
| The hackers simply made a fake finger mold using a photo of a fingerprint. | |
| You know, those fingerprints that you unwillingly leave everywhere, like your keyboard, a mouse, a coffee cup, the subway doors. | |
| Well, and apparently you don't even need access to a printer in order to get past Touch ID. | |
| You can unlock the iPhone 5S with your nipples! | |
| Granted, the nipple is possibly a more secure body part to register, since you don't go around leaving those prints everywhere. | |
| Hopefully. | |
| But it sure would be awkward getting into your phone at a restaurant. | |
| And some users have even registered their phones using paw prints. | |
| So this super secure iPhone 5S has already been hacked into. | |
| So why is the NYPD actively pushing for people to upgrade to a safer operating system? | |
| You'd think they were on the payroll or something. | |
| Well it turns out the NYPD's public awareness notice also urges people to register their devices with their Operation Identification Program. | |
| It's never available to other software and it's never stored on Apple servers or backed up to iCloud. | |
| But what about when your fingerprints are backed up into the NYPD database? | |
| Operation Identification Program might help the NYPD cut down on petty crime, but it also means that your fingerprints are going to be linked in their database. | |
| So not only are they violating your Fourth Amendment with their stop-and-frisk policy, but now they want you to just hand over your biometric data. | |
| But it's okay. | |
| You're not a criminal. | |
| You're just a concerned parent. | |
| Or a conscientious protester. | |
| Maybe you're just a college kid going to the store. | |
| Or just minding your business at a bus stop. | |
| The police want you to use your upgraded iPhone for safety. | |
| Just as long as you don't turn it around on them for your own protection while filming police brutality. | |
