Found a new way to hack iPhone using Siri

Another way to circumvent the security system Apple found and showed in the video the user Jose Rodriguez (Jose Rodriguez). Vulnerability in the new iOS 12 allows you to bypass the password and get access to photos and contacts on a locked iPhone.

A similar method was discovered in 2013 on iOS 7, but then Apple fixed the vulnerability. Now again physical access iPhone iOS 12, to password has stopped being a hindrance.

Need to call the voice assistant Siri to turn on VoiceOver, then turn off the smartphone and make a call on it from another device. Up to remove is not necessary, instead you must click on “Message”. Then, in the window, set message, press the “+” icon in the upper right corner, and then send a SMS from another device. After you receive notification of a new message fails in iOS 12. The notification disappears, and the VoiceOver gives access to primary interface Messages.

Method looks confusing, but it doesn’t require any hacking knowledge, skills or additional equipment. Method works on all iPhone installed with iOS 12. Apparently, the vulnerability is not fixed in the beta version of iOS 12.1.

To defend against this method of hacking is possible just by disabling access to Siri from the lock screen.
