So the way this is being done is by the following .
Um , you go ahead and you click on settings on the phone , you go to , um , icloud now , normally , uh Right now this is my account on here and this is just again for educational and test purposes .
So I do know the password to my account obviously , but I'm gonna demonstrate a , you know , a , a random false password that I don't know .
So first thing a person is gonna do if they steal or find an iphone is they're gonna try to , first of all delete the account if they're aware of this type of thing .
So they're gonna delete the account and say it's gonna say , ok , sure .
You wanna delete from my iphone ?
Yeah .
Now it's gonna , it's gonna say , hey , you know what , you cannot delete anything until you turn off , find my iphone .
So I , and ask for a password .
So I don't know this password .
So , um I type something , turn it off doesn't work .
So I'm like , oh man , you know what , what , what , what can you do now ?
So now bear in mind that you're kind of against the clock in a case where you find a phone .
Uh But this thing , this bug is so instantaneous that um you can do it on the spot literally in seconds .
So you turn off my iphone , it doesn't work .
You , you know , there's a simple , simple , simple bug discovered that can turn this off and make this phone yours .
So all you have to do is you have to go to settings again , go into your icloud and click on the , on the apple ID .
OK ?
Now , once you click on the apple ID , go ahead and remove the password completely and write whatever you want , just blah , blah , blah , you know , um click done .
Now when you click done , you're gonna get an error and that's OK .
That's normal .
Just click , ok ?
Then go ahead and hit , cancel .
All right .
Now , go to icloud again .
All right .
So we are back in icloud here and um press on the apple ID one more time and um you're gonna see a description here , which is icloud .
Now , what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna remove the description .
Oops a , a regular keyboard here .
I'm gonna remove the key .
I'm gonna remove the description and um I'm gonna click done .
All right now , check this out , scroll down and find my iphone is off .
Unbelievable .
So I can now go ahead and delete the account , delete it , delete from my iphone gone .
This phone can no longer be tracked .
This phone can no longer be , you know , attached to the previous owner .
It's , it's over .
It's now your phone .
So look , now I can go ahead and insert new ico , new icloud credentials and it's gonna go ahead and allow me to do it and actually sign in .
So , um , it's just unbelievable .
It is unbelievable .
This bug .
Now , what needs to be done as soon as this is done ?
Don't go ahead and reset the phone .
Don't go ahead and restore it through itunes , don't do any of that .
What you need to do is basically go ahead and , um , put this phone on your apple ID .
So what I mean by that is you're gonna need to put your , uh , your , your actual user name and password here and sign in and turn on , find my iphone and all that other good stuff .
Then what you're gonna need to do is go and log in to www dot icloud dot com .
All right .
And then , um , you're gonna have to put your phone in , uh lost mode , ok ?
And restore .
And , um , um , yeah , and once that restore is done , um , the phone will boot up again and it's gonna say , hey , log in with the icloud account .
