Apple’s fingerprint scanner has been cracked
In only two days after the infamous launch of Apple’s new iPhone there was progress about hackers who managed to hack into their new security feature, the fingerprint scanner. This is not only embarrassing to Apple but also a major breach in privacy for the consumers. The fingerprints we have is supposed to be a unique identity for each individual, with this information being compromised, there is no limit of what hackers cannot achieve.
Of the different causes Suler identifies as generating "disinhibition" I would say the one that identify the most likely reason/cause for disinhibition which would motivate the criminal would be the “Minimization of Status and Authority”. Simply because the idea behind is to ensure here is no centralized control by not allowing the government to become more powerful, also to show them that their security system cannot withhold people like CCC from hacking it. Again a display of hackers vs security systems whereas they put their stance on the issue of privacy infringement.
