Security Flaw Bypasses AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Screen Lock

zacharye writes "BGR has uncovered a security flaw on AT&T's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II that renders Android's unlock pattern feature completely useless. Using a simple workaround, the security hole allows anyone to bypass the unlock pattern, which normally denies users access to an Android device unless a preset pattern is drawn on a grid of nine dots spread across the device's lock screen."

I'm surprised the Slashdot editors didn't write something like:

"HTC Now Selling Unlocked Phones"

"Now AT&T Upping the Ante by Selling Unlockable Phones!"
