We did discover a few days ago a flaw, discovered in iOS 6.1 still fresh. It possible to access the contents of an iPhone protected by a code. Today, another more important flaw has been revealed.
And this new vulnerability is worrying to say the least, since repeating the same principle as that found previously, it provides access to the entire phone, while the first only allowed to walk in the application "Telephone" . If the steps are basically the same, this time handling differs somewhat from the first, because, having launched and then canceled the emergency call, it is now to take a screenshot by pressing the power button and the "Home" button, and keep them at the same time as the emergency call button for three seconds.
These then connect the iPhone to a computer via a USB cable to access all of its data, which is normally impossible without knowing the unlock code. It seems ultimately whether the same fault, but how to exploit to retrieve the entire contents of the device of a user, and not only enjoy the phone. Apple has already announced work on a fix in a future version of iOS 6.1.3.
