IOS’ new feature which claimed to protect data is not safe. A serious Siri bug can easily penetrate into data even if the phone is locked. It need not unlock the phone, it will straightaway get into your hidden messages. This new bug is discovered by Mac magazine which reveals that you can easily ask Siri to retrieve information from a locked phone. Only apple’ messages are not affected. Rest all the messages by third-party apps have been prone to Siri.

Apple said it was aware of the issue and working to fix the bug. It said new software update will not have such breach.  But the timeline for a new update has not been provided. Till the time new software comes, all the users are prone to data-stealing by Siri. All they can do is to disable the lock screen or disable the Siri when the phone is locked. Every company is vulnerable to data breaches. Till the time software comes, there will be risk regarding putting the information on the phone due to this vulnerability. Hopefully, users will be lucky.
