Android Hack Exposes Google Wallet PIN On Demand
Like most hacks, this discovery of a way to find an Android phone's Google Wallet PIN requires a lot of initial access but is disturbing nonetheless. Google knows about the hack and is repairing it. Discovered by Joshua Rubin of Zvelo, the hack is one of the most interesting attacks on Google Wallet so far.In short, this hack allows access to credit card data and purchase history and could, in theory, allow a hacker to use a Google Wallet freely in the wild. However, it does require the hacker to have unfettered root access to the phone. Using a small program, the exploit simply brute-forces a file found in the phone, thereby revealing the PIN and unlocking the wallet.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VQu_VUoGlJo/
