Possible iOS 9.3.1 Passcode Vulnerability?

I recieved a text from a known contact containing nothing odd while my phone was locked face up. Once received it swirched to the passcode screen unprompted and I took a screen shot of it:

It doesn't correlate to my passcode that I can tell, but was very odd, unprompted behavior.

Probably a glitch. Force restart the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by doing this.

If this happens again, set it back to factory settings and restore from the latest backup, just to be sure that this is not software related.
