Nothing is impossible, but having a back-door to steal your fingerprint would be a lot more difficult than following you and collecting your prints off something that you touched. Alternatively, your fingerprints can be extracted from a good-resolution photograph of your hands.

So... Fingerprints are not super secure, but your phone stealing them is not so likely.
