iPhone firmware 2.0.2 is turning out to be a real pain as yet another flaw has been discovered. This time around, it’ll allow others to gain access to your private info even if the phone is locked. Just by selecting Emergency Call when the passcode screen appears and double-tapping the Home button, other people will be able to see all your contacts in your Favorites and their corresponding details bypassing the passcode security protection. However, there seems to be a temporary solution to this issue by assigning a different function for the Home button which will render the aforementioned procedure ineffective.

Nevertheless, this crack should have never been there in the first place. Considering how Apple has set itself apart from the rest of the pack for its stringent security measures, someone must have fallen asleep when this was being taken up during a meeting. With so many issues plaguing 2.0.2, is this a sign of things to come in future firmware updates? I definitely hope not.
