▶️▶️Apple is a perpetual battle to stay ahead of hackers and secure its devices but a new bug discovered by a security researcher and reported by ZDNet shows the passcode that protects iOS devices can be bypassed through a brute force attack, leaving iPhones and iPads vulnerable to being exploited.

Matthew Hickey, a security researcher and co-founder of cybersecurity firm Hacker House, recently discovered a way to bypass some of Apple's security measures meant to keep malicious actors out of devices.

In order to access that encrypted information, iPhones and iPads require users to enter a four- or six-digit passcode to protect the device that they choose when first setting up the device.

If the passcode is entered incorrectly on 10 occasions, Apple's operating system wipes the device and deletes the information forever.

What Hickey discovered, according to ZDNet, is a way to bypass the 10 guess limit when entering a passcode, allowing someone to endlessly enter combinations until the device is unlocked.

Basically, when the iPhone or iPad is plugged in, a hacker can use keyboard inputs to enter passcode guesses instead of tapping the numbers on the device's screen.

Once implemented, the feature will restrict USB access on iOS devices after the iPhone or iPad has been locked for one hour, making the device a black box if it's not cracked in the first 60 minutes.
