On October 10, Apple released its new operating system IOS 7 at the WWDC global Developers Conference. The gorgeous new mobile operating system was released only 48 hours ago, and someone found a loophole that could break through the security protection. It is said that this vulnerability can bypass unlocking and directly delete photos.
On Wednesday, Jose Rodriguez, a 36 year old iPhone user living in Tenerife, Spain, sent me a video showing how to bypass Apple's IOS 7 beta lock screen interface in just a few seconds. First, enter the IOS console to open the calculator application, and then open the mobile camera. At this time, you can access, delete, email, upload or post the photos on the device to twitter without knowing the password.
Jonathan hall, a Forbes video producer, successfully copied the 'trick' and used it to send me a photo from a lock screen mobile phone. 'it sounds hard,' Rodriguez wrote in an email to me, 'but it's easy to do. '
It's not surprising that IOS 7 beta is vulnerable. At present, it is only open to groups with developer accounts, and according to those who have experienced it, the system is full of holes. Apple is likely to fix the bug before releasing a new version of the operating system.
But this lock screen vulnerability is only one of a series of vulnerabilities found in IOS recently, and some of them are not found in the beta in time. Rodriguez found one in March this year, when apple just a day ago plugged a hole that had been revealed a month ago. It's better to fix it now than wait until IOS 7 is downloaded to millions of iPhone users.
Apple's iPhone has always been famous for its convenient use, beautiful appearance, simplicity and generosity, and as a closed operating system, it has also done a very good job in security. But this time, the small loopholes are so mentally retarded that people are shocked!
