Apple iOS privacy FAIL: Lockscreen unsafe again (also in 9.0.1)
Yet again, Apple iOS 9.0 has a nasty lockscreen bug. It allows anyone to see your photos and contacts. And 9.0.1 doesn't fix the privacy vulnerability.
Your humble blogwatcher was contacted a few days back by the now-infamous José "VBarraquito" Rodriguez. He's found yet another privacy bug in the latest iOS's lockscreen. Apple has rushed out a patch for iOS 9.0, but is the flaw actually fixed? Er, apparently not.
Do you see the pattern here? José Rodriguez reported lockscreen failings in iOS versions 5.1–5.1.1, 6.0–6.1.3, 7.0–7.0.1, 8.0–8.3, 9.0 and now he says the bug is still in 9.0.1.
#Golfclap: Surely it's time Apple got the root of the problem, rather than just duct-taping the edges, amirite?
