Android reproduce security vulnerabilities, and hackers can use lengthy characters to crack them.

Many security vulnerabilities on smartphones are related to screen locking. However, this new vulnerability directly bypasses the vulnerability to hack into the mobile phone. A hacker discovered that in the Android 5.x Lollipop system, he could use lengthy characters to break its security. He only needs to open the camera directly on the screen lock, and call out the page for entering the password, then enter the character.

Fortunately, after receiving the report, Google has used updates to fix its Nexus device, and this vulnerability will not be valid for machines unlocked using PIN or graphics. This also proves that various manufacturers have improved the effectiveness of the timely security update policy, in order to prevent mobile phones from being hacked. It is only in the face of the security vulnerabilities that emerge day after day that users will inevitably have a crisis of confidence.
