Apple iOS 7.02 Security Flaw: Siri Leaks Users Call History, Voicemails and Contacts [VIDEO]

The Apple iOS 7, since its official release, had become conspicuous for different bugs that made Apple devices susceptible to security flaw.

Just days after its release, users found out that their emails, photos and social networking accounts can be accessed by strangers through bypassing their devices' passcode.

Users also found out that anyone can make calls through their devices even when their iPhones' screen are locked by using the Emergency Call that can be accessed also through their devices' passcode protection feature.

Also reported were compatibility issues as outdated apps that have not yet been updated with the iOS 7 had reportedly crashed or malfunctioned. With the iOS 7, simultaneous ongoing conversations can jumble the iMessage contact headings which results in sending messages to the wrong recipients.

In Alaska, there were incidents of travellers being directed to the taxi runway instead of the airport when following directions from Apple iOS 7 Maps app.

With all these, Apple immediately released upgrades to the new software as a solution to the reported bugs and security flaws. However, Israeli researcher Dany Lisiansky had discovered another security flaw, this time, involving Siri and the Apple iOS 7.02.

The security flaw had Siri capable of allowing a stranger to have an access to user's call history, voicemails and entire list of contacts even when the iPhone device is locked.

Dany shared the steps on how to replicate the Apple iOS 7.02 security flaw:

1. Make a phone call (with Siri / Voice Control).
2. Click the FaceTime button.
3. When the FaceTime App appears, click the Sleep button.
4. Unlock the iPhone.
5. Answer and End the FaceTime call at the other end.
6. Wait a few seconds.
7. Done. You are now in the phone app.

Even Siri was "elusive" about this security flaw as one user tried to "confront" Siri about the issue just for fun.

Fortunately, it is easy and simple to fix this Apple iOS 7.02 security flaw by disabling Siri on the phone's lockscreen. For the iOS 7, this can be simply done by toggling the Siri switch under the "Passcode and Fingerprint" submenu on the "General" menu of the device's settings.

However, this simple fix obviously defied the very main purpose of why Siri was introduced in the first place.
