over at CNET’s “Insecurity Complex”, wrote this report on how iOS5 ‘s voice activation and recognition system SIRI has a major problem. It works as an exploit against locking the iPhone. By default anyone can have a conversation with Siri on your phone even when locked. The solution is to change Siri to “Off” in the Passcode Lock settings. Macworld and Sophos security firm reported on the fix.
