iOS 9 Siri hack lets anyone see all photos and contacts even if phone is locked.

To exploit the bug, would-be hackers repeatedly mash the numbers on the passcode screen until the iPhone threatens to lock the user out. Speaking to Siri to help open the Clock app, and then clicking through, allows people unfettered access to the Photos and Contacts app, potentially making available personal data.

 
Your Touch ID identifies your finger and then lets you to open another app. Try activating Siri with a nail, it won't work.

If this is that fast, I wonder how good those will be!

Sorry my bad! :D
