If you have a Motorola Droid, there has been a security flaw identified within the software that can potentially allow someone access to your data even if you have set a lock pattern.

This can happen if your phone receives a call, you can answer that call without unlocking, hit the “back” button and suddenly you’re in. No unlock pattern required and you have full access to the device.

The only good news from this is someone has to have physical access to your phone, so don’t lose it! Let’s hope we see a patch for this pretty soon, which I’m sure we will!
