Android’s silly mistake could mess up your Droid’s security

Guy’s at TechCrunch found a security flaw in Motorola Droids running on Android 2.0.1 Why you ask?

Well, if you come across the phone’s lock screen there’s this lock mechanism which is pretty cool to play with it, but there is a serious bug which allows anyone now knowing the verification code to get access to your cellphone data.

If you get there is incoming call then simply pressing the dedicated back button then it takes you to the home screen bypassing the security code, so now you can play with anyone’s data.

We know. Google also knows and they are working on it. Hopefully, the solution should come out as fast as next week!
