A new lock screen bypass has been discovered in iOS 8 that allows anyone to certain action with the help of siri . The shocking part about this bypass is that it can be done in under five seconds. This isn’t the first time that lock screen security on iOS has been compromised, but this does require very specific conditions in place in order to work. It’s a silly game Apple plays, how can there be so many bypass methods in iOS to date? iOS 3.1.3 was the very first iOS to have its own passcode lock bypass, then 6.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 2 on 7.1.1, 8.0 & 2 on 8.0.2.
In this latest iOS 8.1 Bypass, the iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 1, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 & iPod Touch 5th Generation are affected. iOS 8 as a whole is affected, iOS 8.1, iOS 8.0.2 and iOS 8.0 all have this bug.
What this iOS 8.1 Bypass accomplishes is unrestricted access to all of the photos on the device including the iCloud photo library which is shared between devices. Meaning you could use this iOS 8.1 Bypass to access photos from a completely different device that is linked to the iPhone you are performing this iOS 8.1 bypass on. Performing this iOS 8.1 bypass is very simple but depending on your device it could take anywhere from 0 seconds to 3 minutes to complete. It is very simple to recreate though and doesn’t require any insane steps.
Step 1. To do this open up the camera application from the lockscreen and then video recording option.
Step 2. Simultaneously select either the “Volume Up” or “Volume Down” button while pressing the “Camera Roll” cube. If you do it correctly, the camera roll will come up and you’ll be greeted with a blank white page or any pictures you may have taken from the locked device.
Step 3. Go back to the camera application and you’ll notice that it is still recording. Now simply hold the home button to activate Siri and Facetime anybody in the contacts.
Step 4. Depending on your device, some of you may instantly get the screen we need or some like me will get stuck on facetime calling for 3 minutes. Just bring up the control center and enable airplane mode after you hear that the call connects. After 3 minutes you will be greeted with a screen that says Facetime is unavailable.
Step 5. Press the green reply button and then the camera icon. Boom, you’re in!
How to prevent this :
Hard to believe that this is still available in iOS 8.1 but you can easily protect yourselves by disabling Siri from the lockscreen to prevent this iOS 8.1 Bypass.
