Apple releases iOS 6.1.3 but same hacker promptly discovers new security breach in iPhone

Poor Apple. It seems to be hitting the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. Barely hours after it released iOS 6.1.3 version to breach a security gap, another one was found in the iPhone’s software.

According to a report in the UK’s Daily Mail, the new vulnerability differs from the passcode bug fixed by the latest iOS update but it too gives unauthorised access to the phone’s contacts & photos.

The iOS 6.1.3 aims to put a stop to hackers who discovered a simple combination of button presses to bypass the phone’s lock screen.

What is even more embarrassing for Apple is that the new flaw was revealed on YouTube by user videosdebarraquito, the same person who had previously posted a video on the earlier flaw.
