Hãy viết đoạn tóm tắt về nội dung bằng tiếng việt kích thích người mua: Massive Android lock screen bug lets attackers access your photos and other personal data — how to stay safe

Even though we mainly worry about hackers compromising our devices through malware or , a newly discovered bug could allow an attacker with physical access to one of the to look at photos, contacts, browsing history and other personal data stored on a device.

As reported by , a security researcher by the name of Jose Rodriguez has found a new that affects smartphones running or . 

configured.

For those that do not have activated, an attacker can access your recent and favorite locations (like home and work) as well as your contacts. From here, they can also share the location of your phone in real time with any of your contacts or via an email that they need to enter manually.

If you do have Driving mode activated though, an attacker can chain together this exploit with another one to access photos stored on your device, and they can also publish them or add them as a profile image to your . At the same time, the attacker can also access extensive information about your account and how it’s configured. However, there is also the possibility that they can gain full access to your Google Account from a second device — Rodriguez is still looking into that part.

While uninstalling Google Maps from your phone would prevent an attacker from using this lock screen bypass bug to their advantage, since it’s a system app, it can’t be uninstalled. 

Tom’s Guide has reached out to Google for a comment on this bug and we’ll update this story once we hear back from the company.

How to keep your Android smartphone safe from attacks

Based on what we know so far about this lock screen bypass bug, those who are really concerned about an attacker gaining access to their Android smartphone should consider disabling Driving mode in Google Maps for the time being. While we don’t have our own guide on this process, this from Google lays out exactly what you need to do to enable or disable Driving mode.

It’s worth noting though that an attacker still needs physical access to your smartphone to exploit this bug. For that reason, if you don’t let your phone out of your sight, you should be okay until a patch to fix this issue rolls out. This means that you want to avoid leaving your phone on the table when out to eat as an attacker could take it right off the table. Likewise, when using your phone in public, you want to be aware of your surroundings as someone could come along and snatch it out of your hands.

When it comes to cyber attacks and other ways hackers can break into your phone online, the can help keep you safe from malware, malicious apps and other threats. If you’re on a tight budget though, you want to make sure that is enabled on your device as it can also scan all of your existing apps and any new ones you download for malware.

This lock screen bypass bug is quite serious and as it even applies to the latest version of Android, it’s likely that Google is already working on a fix that could be rolled out soon.
