Q: Virus try to brute-force my unlock screen pin on iPad immediately after FaceTime call redirect
Hi all!
I guess there could be exploit in FaceTime/call redirection proto. It's the 3rd time when I see my iPad is flashing with digits brute-forcing pin code to unlock screen and does not react on any touch or buttons.
The scenario is as following:
1. I receive a call on iPhone
2. Call is redirected to iPad via FaceTime
3. After call is answered from iPhone, iPad do not fall into sleep
4. iPad does slide to unlock!
5. iPad start flashing with digits (it looks the same when you tapping and after any touch digit flashes). The sequence is traditional: 1111,1211,1221,etc,etc...
6. Finally iOS blocks pin entering with timeout and iPad back to normal operations, reacts on buttons and touches.
I talk about iPad2/iPhone4S running latest iOS 8.3.
If anybody get the same problem, please write here.
iPad 2, iOS 8.3
