A security researcher playing around with his Pixel 6 stumbled on a dangerous vulnerability that Google has just patched.
Did you ever find a feature on your phone by accident? This writer remembers discovering that a fast scroll up from the bottom of the Pixel 2 XL screen would take me to my first home screen page when browsing other home screen pages. Yours truly now employed this shortcut all the time on the iPhone 11 Pro Max and uses it now on my Pixel 6 Pro.Sometimes, you can come across something more dangerous; something that can threaten the safety of the personal data on your phone.
Schütz said he discovered the flaw by accident after his Pixel 6 battery died. He entered his PIN number incorrectly three times and recovered the locked SIM card using the PUK code. The PUK is used to reset a lost or forgotten PIN number. This information can be obtained from your wireless provider. Typically, after unlocking the SIM card and selecting a new PIN number, an Android phone requests the lock screen passcode or pattern for security reasons.
Schütz reported the vulnerability to Google this past June and the cooler temperatures and earlier sunset times should remind you that we are no longer enjoying the summer season. For his troubles, Schütz was awarded $70,000 byfor bringing this flaw to its attention. The Alphabet unit had designated a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures number of CVE-2022-20465 to the flaw.
