Smartphone owners who unlock their devices with knock codes aren't as safe as they think, according to researchers from NJIT, the George Washington University (GW) and Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.
Knock codes work by letting people select patterns to tap on a phone’s locked screen. LG popularized the method in 2014, and now there are approximately 700,000 people using this method in the U.S. alone, along with one million downloads worldwide of clone applications for Google Android devices generally, the researchers said.
