Convenience vs security. Choose one.
Isn't this a bug in the software?

How do we turn off Siri on the lock screen then?
You mean this?

Yes it's a bug IMO since Siri ask for a passcode to access contact list but it can be defeated.

Are we sure this isn't how Siri always worked?Yes, Contacts are blocked if you ask for them directly, but you can get around it with this exploit.
I just did this on a 4S, it isn't because of Touch ID.Are we sure this isn't how Siri always worked?
That aside, given that an iPhone 5S seems to be used in the video, and between asking Siri about "contacts" and then saying "call" it looks like the person holds one of the fingers on the home button for a bit--perhaps that unlocks the phone via Touch ID and that's why the subsequent actions allow for Contacts to be accessible?
So then basically what Siri has always allowed to do. Doesn't seem like anything new or surprising really.I just did this on a 4S, it isn't because of Touch ID.

Different use case in a sense. But still certainly something that's been around before iOS 7.1.1, and perhaps even as far as the introduction of Siri.Why when you tell Siri "Show contacts" does Siri say "You need to unlock your iPhone first." But if you do it this way it lets you view all contacts freely, it seems like a programming mistake.
This is new in 7.1.Different use case in a sense. But still certainly something that's been around before iOS 7.1.1, and perhaps even as far as the introduction of Siri.
Another video of this kind of thing from a few months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYuO9k0_WBA
There are probably videos and mentions of this from even before, so not sure why it's making news now really, unless somehow this particular behavior is something truly new in iOS 7.1 or 7.0 somehow.
Do we know that for sure from somewhere? Just curious.This is new in 7.1.
What exactly needs to be said to an iOS device for this? I'm wanting to test it on an iOS 5 device. So far, it works the same as it does on iOS 7 and 7.1.
