Not a “flame” article. I recently found out about this too, but word of mouth. This is exactly the kind of thing that should be reported so that people become aware of the security vulnerabilities before it’s too late… Like the biometric mock-up too.

Flame article? We’re just reporting the news friend, and that screen looks like the passcode screen… nothing wrong with this.

I don’t use the passcode feature myself. It seems like a logical oversight though, as the “emergency call” feature would dip into the unprotected part of the phone in order to call out. It may only be on certain subversions of the firmware or something like that.

How is this a flame story? There’s an issue with the iPhone’s security and that’s all there is to it.

:) The fake picture is there because I assumed you already knew what the passcode screen looks like. Here’s one in case you don’t: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT1212/306821_1.jpg

Funny, this doesn’t work on my iPhone. (3G with 2.0.2 firmware…custom though…)

Also, what’s up with the fake picture? I mean, comon, if you’re going to write a flame story, at least try not to look like a newbie while you do it. :(
