Description
iOS Passbook allows applications to be accessed after the iOS device is locked. The icons for passbook enabled apps are shown on the device screen after the device is locked. Any sensitive data stored in the available application would be available if the iOS device is lost or stolen. Therefore, sensitive DoD data could be exposed.
