This month is not good for Apple. Apple, which claims to offer most secure smartphone experience, is facing serious security issues. After facing a major XcodeGhost malware issue in App store, now hacker has found a way to bypass passcode of iOS 9. When Apple is set to start sales of iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, this kind of news can hurt sales of its phones.
After few failed attempts to enter right passcode, hacker taps on siri and then enters in clock app. From clock, he used option share via message to get entry into message app and contacts details. He could also see photos and more. This was pretty simple way to bypass iOS 9 passcode.
I also tried the same way in my iPhone 6 Plus but while trying to access message app from clock, it asked me to enter the passcode.
Similar kind of password bypass flaw was also found in Android Lollipop’s launcher.
To avoid this in your iPhone, you can turn off Siri on lockscreen. You can also turn off access to notification center and control center when iPhone is locked.
You watch the video below to see how he bypassed the passcode.
