Android 5 Lollipop has a fails in its security system screen lock that allows hackers to access your phone.

In this case, you can circumvent the system safety with only typing a lengthy password achieve this overload the computer and take you to the home screen of the phone.

A security researcher John Gordon, made a video for test fails. We must emphasize that the fault only affects smartphones with the latest Android operating system, version Lollipop.

FAULT

With the blocked terminal, select function emergency calls and writes a series of characters and then copy and paste the text repeatedly. After about about 11 repetitions, you will have a range of about 40,960 characters.

Next, open the camera from the lock screen and indicates the phone requires a password. Then copy and paste again and again the string until camera application collapses and will direct you to the home screen of the system.

Google launched an update with the latest software solution. Also recognized the fault and said the trick allows someone to take your phone to “see your contact information, call logs, SMS messages and other data that are normally protected.”

While waiting for the upgrade, we recommend replacing the password lock system for a pattern or PIN.
