As security continues to be a major issue in the Android ecosystem, a bit of related news have just surfaced. It seems like the Google Play Store PIN has a security hole, allowing unwanted users to bypass the security PIN and purchasing content with your credit card. We have seen similar issues with Google Wallet in the past. The security PIN is saved in your smartphone, granting access to your information locally. This means that any user who finds/steals your device can go ahead and just clear the app's data under settings.
Android Phone, Take extra security measures, as it seems the Google Play PIN won't cut it
