iPhone iOS 4.1 password security unlock flaw

Hi to all that have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 or who are planning to buy one

We recently discovered a security flaw with the iPhone 4 despite having a lock code. This is a major security issue, which allows you to access the contacts section without having to unlock the 4 digit lock code.

In a nutshell if you lose your phone someone could access your contacts list, listen to your answer phone, make calls even international calls without you knowing. You will be piled with a massive bill at the end of month. Not good is it…?

And this is how it works:

1. Make sure you have your phone locked
2. Now touch the Emergency Call button
3. Then enter ###
4. The moment you have been waiting for…tap the Call button and immediately hit the Lock button at the top of the phone
5. Now you should be displayed with the contacts list and all the featured options related.

At this point you can do anything browse the contacts list, make a call or listen to an answer phone. We feel this is a major security flaw with the iPhone iOS 4.1 despite having an unlock code and Apple should fix this problem right away!

Thanks for reading this post. Feel free to give your comments on this.

   That is messed up. Apple needs to sort out these problems before everyone starts losing interest in them
