A new flaw has been discovered in Apple’s iOS 9 operating system that allows attackers to break through a device’s lock screen via Siri, enabling access to contacts, messages and photos.

The new flagship of phones and devices being released by tech companies promise the same features as Apple devices nowadays, but at less than half the cost. The attacker must compromise a non-jailbroken iOS device through: A web page, In-app browsing action, text message or MMS.
The phone will also feature minor changes in its operative functions. The phone remains locked which is some relief.
The back camera gets 4k recording and a bump to 12 megapixels still no wide angle front camera.
The method grants access to all the images on the phone’s gallery. An iPad Pro with a keyboard and iOS will handle the majority of what they need in their job.
Barring the backdoor is as simple as shutting down Siri’s lock screen access. Thankfully the bug was fixed and now it seems to have bitten iOS 9.
What’s attracting the most attention, however, is more so a utensil than a gadget.
“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of”, said Jamie Hallissey, a senior nursing student.
People have also been turning to social media outlets to express their sentiments for the tool. Apple did not respond to a request for comment on the video.

This was interesting because many speculated that he would indeed take over if the current CEO, Tim Cook, made a decision to step down.
Regardless, this “zero-day” lock screen hack is now widely known.
