iOS 7 Beta Lock Screen Vulnerability

lock-screen-ios-7-conceptA security hole has already been discovered in Apple's recently released iOS 7 beta. A 36-year-old iPhone user, Jose Rodriguez from Spain, managed to discover a way to bypass the lock screen and access the phone's camera.

Forbes reports that Rodriguez was able to gain access to the calculator app, camera, and email, allowing him to delete and upload photos to tweets without knowing the device's password.

Rodriguez uploaded a relevant video to YouTube to prove all of his claims.

Many experts have said that finding bugs in the new iOS 7 is only a matter of time, and indeed today someone reported such a security hole.

It's likely that Apple will address most of these issues by the time its new operating system is officially released.

This isn't the first time Rodriguez has revealed an iOS lock screen bypass vulnerability. Last March, he discovered a similar flaw in iOS 6.1.3.
