Apple Fixes Security Flaw

I reported on this iOS 7 flaw earlier this week and Apple has just released a update to correct the flaw. I guess Apple is a dedicated reader of this fine technology blog.

I applied this fix this evening and it corrected the problem as promised. You can force the update by opening the settings menu.

Apple has released iOS 7.0.2 over-the-air for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This is a bug fix release that focuses on rectifying an issue that could allow users to bypass the passcode unlock on the Lock screen.
