CyanogenMod Android ROMs Accidentally Logged Screen Unlock Patterns

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.`"

    If an official ROM did this it would be taken as an evil invasion of privacy by Samsung, HTC or Google, but when the Cyanogen team does it it's immediately accepted as an accident.

    Interesting.
