The WSJ wrote an article on this two months ago as well, discussed at [0], seems like they've run out of new topics so they're just rehashing content they've already released. You can protect yourself against this type of attack by using Screen Time restrictions [1].

All this for a security “flaw” that isn’t really a flaw. It’s functionality that is consistent with industry standards —(Google/Android) works the same way. Your cellphone might as well be an extension of your brain. Secure it with a strong password, and try to be mindful of shoulder surfers.
