Android Lollipop Can Be Hacked

 Android Lollipop Can Be Hacked

September 18, 2015

Complex passwords are the way to beat some attacks, but for phones running the latest version of Android, that's not necessarily.

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.
