iPhone security flaw lets you bypass lock screen to access Phone app

A major security vulnerability allows potentially anyone to bypass the iPhone passcode lock screen and get full access to the Phone app including call records, contacts and even share the contacts via email or MMS.

What’s alarming about this security flaw is how easy it is to execute. All you need to do is, from the passcode lock screen, make an “emergency call” and dial any number, press “call” and then then quickly press the power button on top of the iPhone. Immediately you’ll have full access to the Phone app along with all the information contained within it.

So iPhone users out there, don’t think that your phone is safe even with the passcode lock enabled. lock

Head on over to after the jump for a video that shows you how to bypass the passcode lock screen.
