Android Lollipop Can Be Hacked

 Android Lollipop Can Be Hacked

September 18, 2015

In a report published, computer security researcher John Gordon documented the vulnerability and posted a video of the hack.

It only affects smartphones using the latest version of the Android operating system, Lollipop.
