Android, iOS bugs expose phones to voyeurs, data thieves

A bug discovered by Android researcher Terence Eden allows anyone to bypass the security measures in place at a phone’s lock screen. The technique exploits the 911 feature of a phone, which allows emergency calls to be made whether a phone is locked or not. Another lock screen bug was discovered Wednesday in Apple’s iPhone. Both the bugs are similar, according to security engineer Diogo Monica, a security engineer with San Francisco mobile payments company Square. If your phone is unlocked, it can be connected to a computer and its contents dumped to the device.”]
