If you think you've hidden the display screen when you type your secret unlock code is safest method that no one will be able to discover it, think again. A group of researchers were able to discover different lock codes smartphones by running the front camera and using the microphone and using facial recognition and location typing on the touch screen. Face do not lie
One of the main security measures available today is our smartphone devices lock screen. Over the years, this screen has been updated and researched and upgraded many times and now allows emeralds users to unlock the device emeralds not only through literature but also through the templates, emeralds the user's face recognition and fingerprint course, as Apple introduced the iPhone 5S device.
But with all due respect to these upgrades, it seems that most users prefer to stick to using good old literature, this probably is not really reliable emeralds enough for a number of reasons and due to several possible ways to get around it. A group of researchers from the University of Cambridge managed to find out what the numeric lock code of various smartphone devices, using software called emeralds PIN Skimmer.
It identifies the code by running the front camera and microphone device of the user, without his being aware of it, and follows him as he types the code in question. Behind the scenes, the software is able to assess the direction of the device and can adjust the location emeralds numbers on the screen and sounds produced by the user's fingers emeralds as you type, as well as watch how his move when entering the code. That is able to decipher the secret code of the users.
In tests conducted on devices Nexus S and Galaxy S3, the application has introduced more than 50 percent success guess a four-digit code as part of five different guessing attempts and more than 60 percent success rate with a code length of eight digits emeralds in its 10th guesses. Maintain the security device
According emeralds to the present findings suggest that researchers use the code as long as possible in order to reduce emeralds the risk of break-in, but they are aware that the longer the code is so hard to remember it - so that is the ideal solution for all users.
If you still prefer to use the digit unlock code, the recommendation is to use random numbers and scattered as possible to try and confuse the tracking app, and of course that if your device allows it, it is better you start using the lock or fingerprint identification.

Just see the pattern on the basis of fatty streaks down hands on the screen. Since many do not clean the screen on a daily basis, one can easily see the particular light path of the pattern lock. I've done it hundreds of times with high success rates than specified above.
