CyanogenMod Android ROMs Accidentally Logged Screen Unlock Patterns

Posted by Soulskill on from the reasons-not-to-run-android-on-your-bank-vault dept.

tlhIngan writes "Heads up CyanogenMod users — you will want to update to the latest nightly build as it turns out that your unlock patterns were accidentally logged. The fix has been committed and is in the latest build. While not easy to access (it requires access to a backup image or the device), it was a potential security hole. It was added back in August when Cyanogen added the ability to customize the screen lock size.`"
