Bug on iOS 7 allows iCloud to be deleted without password

A new bug appeared in iOS 7.1 which seems to allow anyone with physical access to the device to delete the owner's account at iCloud without having to type him access. THE It's not very easy, but that doesn't mean Apple shouldn't fix the security hole. 

iCloud

According to the uploader of the demo video at , , μπορείτε να σβήσετε τον λογαριασμό στο σύννεφο της Apple, αν πάτε στον πίνακα ρυθμίσεις, iCloud και επιλέξτε “Διαγραφή λογαριασμού.” Ταυτόχρονα, θα πρέπει να απενεργοποιήσετε το Find My iPhone. Το τηλέφωνο θα εμφανίσει δύο παράθυρα διαλόγων αλλά δεν θα χρησιμοποιήσετε κανένα από αυτά. Αμέσως μετά και ενώ η συσκευή σας ζητάει τον κωδικό πρόσβασης για να προχωρήσει με την διαγραφή του λογαριασμού σας στο iCloud, απενεργοποιήσετε το τηλέφωνο.
After reboot, reopen the settings window and choose to delete the account.

This time, iOS will not ask for your password but will delete your account. Vulnerability is serious enough and should be dealt with as soon as possible by Apple.

Apple will also have to address an iOS 7 problem that results in short battery life. So far, there is no indication that the trying to fix it.

As it is known to those involved with the company, updates on such issues do not come as the release of new iOS, or a new device that always comes with a new iOS. Due to the severity of the vulnerability, we hope Apple will overcome it.
