    Security Issue -Windows Phone 8.1 - Notification Area

    Some people don't mind notifications over the lock screen. I don't.

    Nonetheless, your situation has already been taken into account. Go to Settings>notifications+actions and turn off "Show notifications in action centre when screen is locked". With this off, you'll only be able to access quick settings when on the lock screen.

    Edit: Check this out when you have a second - Possible Breach of Security in Win 10 Anniversary Lock Screen w Displayfusion Binary Fortress Software


    I use displayfusion which for my second monitor's taskbar. And there seems to be a security issue in windows where apps can force themselves on top of the lock screen. I'm thinking when I locked the PC displayfusion forced itself in front of the lockscreen and the notification used that as a piggyback to itself display past my lock screen.

    It does sound like that program could be responsible for the notification.
