Apple iOS 9.3.1: Bug Discovered That Compromises Photos And Contacts

Getting past the iPhone lock screen without knowing the password may seem impossible, but sometimes there are workarounds. For example, the FBI took Apple to court in order to have a customized backdoor created for the purpose of accessing the iPhone 5c belonging to the deceased San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook – which ended up being dropped since the government agency found a way to retrieve the data without requiring a backdoor. This week, a bug was found in iOS 9.3.1 that enables hackers to bypass passwords in order to access photos and contacts.
