New dangerous security vulnerabilities appear on iOS 11.2.6, can read messages without unlocking

The MacMagazine page found a vulnerability in iOS that makes Siri easily read the message content without unlocking it.

Basically, iOS 11 users can hide message previews on the lock screen and only when accessing the device can you view the entire message content. But with this vulnerability, just a person asking to read your message by saying 'Hey Siri, read my notifications' (Hey Siri, read my announcement), even if the screen is locked, the virtual assistant still will read the content of those messages.

This security vulnerability affects most iPhone devices running iOS 11.2.6.

Numerous messaging applications including WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Skype are affected by this error except iMessage.

Most iPhone devices running iOS 11.2.6 including iPhone X are affected.

Immediately after receiving the information, Apple confirmed that it will patch this security hole in the next update.

While waiting for the vulnerability patch, iOS users can minimize their privacy risks by disabling Siri access on the lock screen by the following way:

Go to Settings (Settings) -> select Siri & Search (Siri & Search) -> turn off the Allow Siri item When Locked (Access when locked) is okay.
