Default IOS 7 security flaw affects 4s and 5 users

Security flaw in the latest IOS that allows hackers to bypass the lockscreen and access personal data.

If you have a 4s or 5, maybe hold off upgrading the ios until the fix has been released.

There's an option in a menu or something you can disable the lockscreen shortcut that has the vulnerability until the fix comes.

to be honest I put the post up as in another thread people with the 4s were struggling with updating the software so more a heads up to maybe wait until the fix is made.

ps have you seen the syrians controlling missiles with an ipad, you never know the world may end!

Cool

Questions asked quickly followed by oops!.

I have to say, regardless who brought this out, it was dumb. We had Lenovo Thinkpads at work some years ago, and this feature was disabled on them for this reason.
