Apple's iPhone 5S comes with a fingerprint scanner and it is now the subject of an online contest started by hackers who are offering a bounty to the first person to hack the biometric lock.

The list at istouchidhackedyet.com is open to anyone who wants to join in offering a reward, and the amount total for doing the dirty deed is growing by the hour. The iPhone 5S is already in "short supply" for Friday's launch - and hackers are most certainly among those eager to get their hands on the premium phone. Those interested in joining the bounty offer simply need to tweet their amount or offering to the #istouchidhackedyet hash tag.
