IOS6 security vulnerability in 2 seconds

Wow, just tried.

Steps:

- Do Not Unlock your phone

- Activate Siri

- Go to Town

This is potentially really dangerous. Now I'm wondering if apps themselves should actually be responsible for granting permissions when the phone is locked.

You can of course always just disable siri for the lockscreen under Settings->General->Passcode-Lock->Siri.

Wasn't this exploit reported for ios5 also ?

There was a fix in iOS 5.0.1 to stop the smart cover on iPad 2's allowing the lock screen to be circumvented.

I have tested sending text messages and using twitter.
