Siri Exploit iOS7 / 8


Recommended Posts

Here's how to do it:

  1. Turn off Wi-Fi from the Control Center
  2. Ask Siri a question
  3. Eject the SIM card, then put it back in
  4. When you're reconnected to the carrier, tap the "Edit" button in Siri and modify the question to ask "Read me all my messages", "Read my email", "Post to Twitter", or "Send an email". Whatever you choose, you have to edit the text for it to work.

This Siri bypass will not unlock your iPhone

 

Lifehacker:

 

That's it. I tried asking Siri to do other things like launch apps to see if I could get around the actual lock screen, but it just freezes up and doesn't do anything. So, the only thing that people will get access to is a few recent emails and messages, and the ability to send messages out as you.

 

So...does it actually get passed the lock screen...no.  Is it a bug with Siri...yes.  Does this need to be fixed...hell yes.  Is this another clickbait article...double yes.

Not sure how this is click bait seeing this is a tech site and someone is trying to help spread an easy attempt to read your private info..

"people will get access to is a few recent emails and messages, and the ability to send messages out as you."

Sounds like a legit warning to neowinians..
