Well i was reading an article on techcrunch this morning that i found very interesting, apparently there is a bug with the latest version of android for the droid device on verizon. Basically the exploit allows you to bypass a persons security “pattern” and go straight to their home screen. Heres how its done.
1. Have someone call the droid phone
2. Answer the deviceĀ and then press the back button during the call
3. This will leave you at the android home screen.
You can then go ahead and access anything you would like to on the phone. Google said their working on a patch to fix the issue, but this leaves you to wonder, what are their programmers thinking? Or was this intentional? It seems a little too ironic to believe that some of the best programmers in the world would not have caught on to such a simple issue.
