Ota security update 9/29/15

Just did the ota update. Have since rebooted phone twice. Update and phone don't like each other! Chrome keeps auto-closing. And phone is lagging/freezing continuously. Phone was rooted years ago, and never any issues, even upgrading to Kitkat. This one I'm not to sure about!!!!!

Oh, and booting takes about twice looking too!

Keeps getting better...can't download anything from the play store. Says it's downloading, but never goes anywhere.

Chinese security concerns?

Anyone else have any concerns with Huawei? I really hope Google did their due diligence here...

Bypass Exchange Security

Does anyone know of a good app or hack to use with lollipop to bypass needing a pin or password to setup your exchange email account?

Nexus 4 & 5 security vulnerability uncovered

A Security researcher and

hacker, named John Gordon,

has found an easy way to

bypass the security of locked

smartphones running Android

5.0 and 5.1 (Build LMY48M).

Many of us use various

security locks on our devices

like Pattern lock, PIN lock and

Password lock in order to

protect the privacy of our

devices.

However, a vulnerability could

now allow anyone to take your

Android smartphone (5.0 build

LMY48I) with locked screen,

perform a "MAGIC TRICK" and

as a result crash the user

interface (UI) for the password

screen and gain access to your

device.

The vulnerability, assigned

CVE-2015-3860, has been

dubbed as "Elevation of

Privilege Vulnerability in

Lockscreen".

How the Attack Works?

The secret behind the

researcher's "MAGIC TRICK" is

as follows:

Get the device and

open the Emergency

dialer screen.

Type a long string of

numbers or special

characters in the input

field and copy-n-paste

a long string

continuously till its

limit exhausts.

Now, copy that large

string.

Open up the camera

app accessible without

a lock.

Drag the notification

bar and push the

settings icon, which

will show a prompt

for the password.

Now, paste the earlier

copied string

continuously to the

input field of the

password, to create an

even larger string.

Come back to camera

and divert yourself

towards clicking

pictures or increasing/

decreasing the volume

button with

simultaneously

tapping the password

input field containing

the large string in

multiple places.

All this is done to make the

camera app crash. Further, you

will notice the soft buttons

(home and back button) at the

bottom of the screen will

disappear, which is an

indication that will enable the

app to crash.

At this time, stop your actions

and wait for the camera app to

become unresponsive.

After a moment, the app will

crash and get you to the Home

Screen of the device with all

the encrypted and

unencrypted data.

Now without wasting time go

to Settings > Developer

options > Enable USB

debugging and control the

device by installing the

Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

utility.


In addition to this, if we notice

the number of users with

Android 5.0 and 5.1 with

hardware compatibility as

Nexus 4 and software installed

as Google factory image -

occam 5.1.1 (LMY47V) are less.

Therefore, the risk associated

will affect those users only.

Furthermore, for those users

we have a good news that is-

the patch has released for the

vulnerability and is made public

by Google.


My question is, will it also affect other L users???

The second problem is that when I made the root my phone and removed some applications the system appears in the bottom corner, "security problem" and pops up all the time to install Antivirus advertising.

Bluetooth override Fingerprint security?

I recently installed Android Pay which required that I enable security, understandable. I decided to go with the fingerprint security. The only problem I have now is when I'm in the car I have to swipe my fingerprint to get SVoice to trigger. I need actual hands free. Is there a way to allow programs like SVoice to override the security lock screen?

Android security - how do you feel?

Smartphones and tablets have transformed the way the world communicate. The most represented OS is Android. With the proliferation of new devices developed on Android, what do you think about the security those devices are providing, and how do you feel about it? Of course, we are talking about non-modified devices, stock roms, not rooted.
