Researchers at Newcastle University have demonstrated how to use the sensors in our mobile devices to calculate the phone's PIN code with near 95%.
This attack, based on JavaScript, does not require installing any type of application. The only thing needed is a browser with a malicious web page open. With this “gateway” to your device, the malicious page uses the sensors to calculate the PIN code, with an effectiveness close to 95% in, maximum, 3 attempts.
If you want to know more or are interested in more technical information, here you can read the study conducted.
