by ED RILEY THIEVES will cut off their victims’ fingers to get their hands on the new iPhone, an expert has warned.

The brutality will be needed to access the devices which are unlocked by a fingerprin­t scan.

The Touch ID technology features on Apple’s new iPhone, the 5S, which launches later this month.

It is built into the home button and uses a laser-cut sapphire and a sensor to take an image of the user’s fingerprin­t. But Marc Rogers, of mobile securityfi­rmLookout,said:“Thieves insomeregi­onshavewor­kedoutthat you can force a victim to unlock a secured device, and in some extreme cases have also mutilated victims in order to steal their fingerprin­t.”

He added that fraudsters already lift and duplicate prints with technology that “is only going to improve with time”, but admitted fingerprin­t scanners “if done right, can be much more convenient than entering a pin code multiple times a day”.

Meanwhile, cheating lovers are celebratin­g the new fingerprin­t technology which will make it easier to keep their sex-texting antics secret, according to a website for love rats.

A whopping 89% of members of married dating site IllicitEnc­ounters.com who use an iPhone say they will upgrade for the new feature. TO use this service you must be 16-plus, have the bill-payer’s permission and have a WAP-enabled phone.
