This article disputes that claim.

Do you really think that if TouchID was as trivially easy to crack as these guys claim, Apple would have gotten all the major credit card companies and 90% of the banks to sign on for Apple Pay after their security people TESTED it??? No way.

Oh yes, I believe it.

I've written credit card gateways, and you'd be shocked at how loose that is. The "system" is remarkably sloppy.

I believe the Apple technology, even with it's flaws, is better than credit card security. Almost anything will look like an improvement.
