iOS 7 bug allows anyone to disable Find My iPhone and bypass Activation Lock without a password

Mike Beasley / 9to5Mac:

 Starting with iOS 7, deleting an iCloud account or restoring a device requires Find My iPhone to be disabled. Find My iPhone, in turn, requires the user to enter the password for the Apple ID attached to the iCloud account. This system ensures that phone thieves can’t remove the account and avoid being tracked through the Find My iPhone website.
