What's This?

It seems the lockscreen security issues are never ending, with another flaw found in Sony’s new flagship device software; similar glitches found in iOS 6.x devices and some samsung devices shows that lockscreen passcode or patterns are not enough to keep sensitive data safe on your smart phones.

The most shocking part is that anyone can perform the simple steps to bypass the security lockscreen, unlike the iPhone you don’t need to act like a genius, you just simply enter a code, press couple of menu options and yo are in.  The video below from GSMArena demonstrates just how easy it was:

The video above is a tutorial released by Scott Reed, a tech enthusiast, who has recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z smartphone, has managed to bypass the lock screen of the device with ease. The method involves few simple steps and allows you to gain full access to the device.

Sony would have picked up the video and various posts online expressing the concerns by now and should have some fix in the works very soon.
