Owners of a device running Apple’s (AAPL) iOS 9 have a privacy lock screen bug to worry about.
The Apple privacy lock screen bug in iOS 9 allows anyone to look through a person’s photos and contacts without needing their passcode. It works by entering wrong passcodes until the users is threatened out of their device. After this, the hacker asks Siri to access the Clock app and can get to the Contacts and Photos apps from there, reports The Independent.
Users can stop the iOS 9 hack from working by going to “Settings” selecting the “Touch ID & Passcode” section. Once here, users can tell the device to shut Siri off when it’s locked. The privacy lock screen bug hasn’t been fixed with the release of iOS 9.0.1, The Independent notes.
The lock privacy lock screen bug in iOS 9 was found by Jose Rodriguez. Rodriguez is the same person that discovered a lock screen bug in 6.1.3 two years ago. Lock screen bugs are uncommon, but have also been found in iOS 4, iOS 6 and iOS 7, reports AppleInsider.
