It took just two days and a small collection of everyday household items for a group of German hackers to bypass the fingerprint sensor on an Apple iPhone 5S. Chaos Computer Club, based in Berlin, took a high-resolution photograph of a fingerprint from the side of a glass. They then scanned it, before laser printing it onto a transparent sheet and covering it in woodglue. Once the glue had dried, they peeled off the print copy and pressed it on the scanner. Scroll down for video . A fingerprint was photographed using 2400 dpi resolution. The image was inverted and laser printed onto a transparent sheet with a thick toner setting. Hackers then poured woodglue onto the print pattern, pictured top. After it dried, the sheet was lifted and pressed onto the sensor, pictured bottom, to unlock the phone .

During the launch, Apple claimed the new iPhone with a fingerprint sensor was 'much more secure than previous fingerprint technology.' Hackers became so keen to prove the tech giant wrong that a security researcher called Nick DePetrillo even set up an online race to be the first to bypass the technology.
