Sometimes users who find or purchased a used iPhone and upgrade to iOS 9 have an issue [by the way Apple March event is confirmed for March 21st]. They are willing to find a way how to hack iPhone Touch ID and access the device without making it a brick.

Simple Play-Doh won’t help you. The hack is still curious but potential thieves will have to get your fingerprint’s dental paste cast before they can make the Play-Doh fingerprint to hack your iPhone.

You see that it’s not that simple. Apple said nothing about this hack yet.
