Anti-theft features IOS 7 Can Shut Off by Thieves



iPhone smart phone from Apple provides application " Find My iPhone " that can track the position of the phone is concerned , if stolen from the hands of the owner of the device .

This feature can be accessed via the iCloud settings menu , but can only be turned off by entering your Apple ID password . IPhone thief was dead lice . The smart phone can not be reset , Appe ID and iCloud account can not be replaced .

However , a fatal weakness that was recently discovered by a YouTube user named Miguel Alvarado had interrupted the security features .

As reported by 9to5mac , which has to do is simply go to the iCloud settings , select the "delete account " and switches to turn off Find My iPhone at the same time , which is actually quite difficult to do .

When asked to enter a password , press the power button and turn off the iPhone . Once the iPhone is turned back , anyone can go into iCloud settings and delete account without being asked a password .
Step can be done after that is to restore the phone with iTunes . iPhone also erase all data and settings and return to the default condition . Activation Lock will not show up when the phone is restored because these functions require the Find My iPhone feature is active .

Details of the steps can be seen in the video below . Since it has been raised to the public , Apple should 're looking for a way to fix this problem . The good news for security reasons , the passcode lock screen can still be used so that people other than the user can not access the device at all .
