Security flaw bypasses iPhone lock screen


It looks like the iPhone lock screen provides just a marginal level of protection. [Jordand321] discovered a key combination that opens the contact app on a locked iPhone. Just tap the emergency call button, enter the pound sign three times (###), then tap call and immediately tap the lock key on the top of the phone. 
You don’t get access to everything on the device. But this does give an attacker access to all of your contact data and allows that person to make any calls they desire.
