Android Pattern Lock System Can be Hacked Within Five Attempts: Report


Pattern locking system is the most secure way of protecting your Android smartphone from threats. In new research from Lancaster University, it is said that the Android Pattern locking can be hacked within five attempts. Sounds Interesting, right? Let' see how this actually works. 
As you might be aware of the fact that, to unlock your smartphone, you need to draw your pattern to get the device unlocked and use it. If you failed to unlock the phone within five attempts, then the phone will be locked for 30 seconds. 
That said, a person from the university mentioned above has developed a new algorithm, which keeps track of a person's unsuccessful attempts at the pattern lock and suggests a pattern using advanced computer vision algorithm software. 
Also, this new algorithm even works without a video footage by just recording the fingerprints of the customer. However, this feature works accurately when the algorithm is exploited using video recording. 
This proves that the Android locking security system is still vulnerable to attacks like this.

Google Assistant is Reportedly Enabled on Some Non-Pixel Phones with Alpha Version of Google App!

In what could be called as a surprising news, some of the users of non-Pixel phones are reporting that the latest Alpha version of the Google App is bringing the popular Google Assistant to their phones, according to Android Police. 

The report also cites that several people at Android Police after installing the latest Google App Alpha version enabled the Google Assistant on their non-Pixel phones. However, on some phones, the feature did not appear. So, it must be some bug, or maybe Google failed to remove the lines of code.



Besides this, we tried installing the APK provided by Android Police on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, but no luck for us as well. If you people want to give a shot at the new Alpha version, you can download the APK from apkmirror.com. Also, do make a note that the APK is an Alpha version and will have many bugs.
