Don’t hand your iPhone to anyone if you have just upgraded to iOS 13

Apple has just introduced the latest iOS 13 update for iPhones and it turns out that devices running iOS 13 are not ‘safe’ enough. This is because hackers have found a way to bypass Apple’s FaceID to access the phone address book. Not just that, hackers can even get to know the recent contact list. Thankfully, this hack is only possible, if a hacker physically gets to have the iPhone running iOS 13 in his hands as it is not possible to do this remotely.
Interestingly, a new report claims that Apple had known about this vulnerability back in July and the company had done nothing about it. A cybersecurity enthusiast named Jose Rodriguez had approached Apple with “passcode bypass” that can bypass Face ID. Rodriguez had asked Apple whether this “passcode bypass” discovery would make him eligible for Apple Security Bounty.
