Has Siri left your iPhone 4S unlocked?

Possibly. http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/10/19/siri-iphone-4s-unlocked/

Oh Simon...

Two words for Apple, Epic Fail

I can think of two words too, Mitch, but fortunately Siri doesn't recognise them.

The fact that Siri is off by default and you can then password protected it surely makes this a non-story.

If you use a pass code lock for your iPhone and still allow Siri access of course you run a risk but that to me is an individual decision. BTW I use a pass code and Siri cannot be accessed.

There are some areas in the UK where this will not be a problem...

They'll be in big trouble when the Siri enabled TV is released.

According to this http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/the_next_thing_apple_becoming_big_brother/ they'll be in even bigger trouble long before that happens......

Wonder when something similar to Siri will come to Android. Just think of all that extra information Google will be able to know about you

Two tin cans and a piece of string anyone?

Does make you wonder

I'm increasingly unhappy with data mining, Tac. If Visa and Mastercard get in on the act as well, we might all just write a detailed daily diary on Facebook.

Steve · Oct 28, 2011, 12:48:21

That would be entail becoming a member of a very large group.

Android already has speech recognition for typing messages.

Guess there's no escape. Like Rik says, we may as well write a detailed diary and post it to the World

As long as you haven't got a stutter.

pctech · Oct 28, 2011, 17:12:27

Indeed otherwise e-mails, forum posts and blogs might become very long.

Steve · Oct 28, 2011, 17:45:05

Or very short.
