Same day that I hooked up my work exchange (ahk) account too. Weird.

How about fixing the passcode lock hack ASAP, please? (Or is it a deliberate backdoor for the police?)

  Um….It has: In addition to the Exchange fix, the update contains a fix for a recently revealed vulnerability. Last week, reports emerged that a security hole in iOS 6.1 could allow anyone to bypass a user’s passcode screen and access contacts.

    Says who? Apple doesn’t say that 6.1.2 addresses the passcode security vulnerability bug. According to mashable.com, they were able to bypass the passcode screen, even after updating: http://mashable.com/2013/02/19/ios-6-1-2-released/
    So, the backdoor is still open: If somebody gets your iPhone, all they need is a bit of patience and they can view all your contacts, listen to your voicemail, view your photos, and make calls as you. Brilliant. The number of hard-to-discover passcode-bypass bugs makes me wonder if these are truly accidental.
