Massive loophole uncovered in iOS 9 device lock screen

A huge loophole has been uncovered in the iOS 9 device lock screen enabling access a user’s contacts and photos without ever having to enter the correct PIN.

This is a very big deal considering iOS 9 was only recently launched, and the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will officially go on sale.

The Bug in the software lets you input the wrong passcode a few times, launch Siri from the lock screen, and then ask what time it is.

When the results show up, there’s a search field at the top of the screen from which you can further search for information from areas of the iPhone such as the Contacts, Messages and Photos.
