Internet search giant Google is well aware of a major security flaw that has been discovered on their Google Wallet service, and they are currently working hard to deliver a fix as soon as possible.

If you were to check out the video above which was posted by Zvelo, then the PIN system on rooted devices that carry Google wallet can easily be cracked thanks to an app which can be downloaded online – for free.
