iPhone 5S: Thieves may mutilate owners in bid to gain access to fingerprint-reading handsets, expert warns
专家警告：使用iPhone 5s 小心手指被小偷切断!
Apple's new model includes Touch ID, which allows users to unlock their handsets with their fingerprints
最新型号的iPhone整合了允许用户通过指纹锁定手机的指纹传感器。
Thieves have mutilated victims to gain access to phones equipped with a fingerprint reader, an expert has warned。
专家警告，小偷可能会切断受害者的指头以获取手机的访问权限。
Yesterday, Apple launched its iPhone 5S, which includes the Touch ID feature, an integrated sensor on the device's home button that reads your fingerprint in order to unlock your phone。
昨天，苹果发布了iPhone 5s手机，它配置了指纹传感器。这个传感器集成在手机的HOME键上，通过读取指纹来解锁手机。
Marc Rogers said the sensors can provide a convenient way to unlock gadgets while also boosting security。
马克 罗杰斯表示：“指纹传感器不仅提供了便捷的解锁应用的方式，同时也增加了安全性。
But they have led criminals to commit increasingly brutal robberies and even chop off phone-owners' fingertips, the chief researcher at mobile security firm Lookout claimed。
但是Lookout手机安全公司的首席研究员声称：“指纹传感器会招致犯罪分子越来越粗暴的抢劫行为，甚至砍断手机所有者的手指。
“Fraudsters have also succeeded in lifting and duplicating prints with technology that “is only going to improve with time”， he added. “Thieves in some regions have worked out that 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。”
他补充道：“骗子已经能够运用科技手段成功的提取和复制指纹，并且随着时间的发展，这项技术会发展的越来越先进。”“一些地区的小偷会逼迫受害人解锁安全设备。在一些极端的案件中，为了盗窃受害者的指纹，小偷还曾切掉他们的手指。”
The hi-tech scanners are said to work best when combined with a pin code or another security feature. “Fingerprints can be a useful addition to security but their value depends highly on the type of fingerprint reader and how it is being used - for example, the best use of a fingerprint is to provide a convenient way to unlock something in a medium to low security scenario,” Mr Rogers said。
高科技扫描仪最佳的使用方式是将其与PIN码或其它保密功能结合起来使用。“指纹确实能增加安全性，但是它的使用价值在很大程度上依赖于指纹读取设备的类型和它的使用方式——例如，运用指纹识别技术将中级安全防护的设备解锁到初级防护状态。”
“Unlocking a device with a fingerprint, if done right, can be much more convenient than entering a pin code multiple times a day。”
“如果操作正确的话，用指纹解锁设备要比一天多次输入PIN码方便的多。”
