FBI Can't Crack Android's Swipe Lock
March 20, 2012
Wired.com reported last week that the FBI can't crack the Android's pattern-screen locks. This interesting tidbit came via the revelation of a warrant which has now been approved by a federal judge commanding Google to provide a Google e-mail log-in and password to override the lock-out caused by entering too many incorrect patterns.
The FBI wants to unlock a suspected San Diego-area prostitution pimp's mobile phone. To read the very seamy story of the "gentleman" who has already served time for his role in "Pimpin' Hoes Daily," check out the Ars Technica story.
