ITACS 5211: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

New iPhone Bug Gives Anyone Access to Your Private Photos

October 17, 2018 by Ruby(Qianru) Yang 1 Comment

Be careful about what pictures you took!

A security enthusiast who discovered a passcode bypass vulnerability in Apple’s iOS 12 late last month has now dropped another passcode bypass bug that works on the latest iOS 12.0.1 that was released last week.
Jose Rodriguez, a Spanish amateur security researcher, discovered a bug in iOS 12 in late September that allows attackers with physical access to your iPhone to access your contacts and photos.
The bug was patched in iOS 12.0.1, but he now discovered a similar iPhone passcode bypass hack that works in 12.0.1 and is easier to execute than the bug Rodriguez discovered and reported two weeks ago.
The new hack allows anyone with physical access to your locked iPhone to access your photo album, select photos and send them to anyone using Apple Messages.

    Hi Ruby,

    I just did the article on iOS 12 last week and it was pretty interesting and now the same guy cracked iOS 12.0.1 i think apple should improve there patches to avoid this kind of vulnerabilities in future.
