Apparently Google's mobile platform is vulnerable to attack. A recent post by a university professor discussed how unsafe the platform is, so the does this mean more frequent updates for Android devices?
I think this is the problem with an open source OS that's actually super popular and profitable for these phone companies. Stuff gets holes in it when they put their own hastily built custom shells on it.
Say it isn't so!
ReplyDeleteis there such thing as secure technology?
ReplyDeletethank you for encouragement! good luck to you too!
ReplyDeleteThis blows, but I still love my Droid.
ReplyDeleteI still love my Fascinate.
ReplyDeleteI think you're OK as long as you don't have TMI on your devices, which you should never have.
ReplyDeleteI have a galaxy ace, hmm.
ReplyDeleteMobile viruses maybe?
ReplyDeleteIf you Jailbreak an iPhone, the password to access the root menu is "alpine" on every device.
ReplyDeleteLong story short, Someone made a virus that changed your background to rick astley
^Interestng. Where is the root menu though?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll be informing my Droid loving friend of this! Thanks!
haha good post
ReplyDeleteit's not just the android, it's google chrome as well :/
ReplyDeleteconsidering people "hack" into their own droids all the time, not really surprising. I'm not scared XD
ReplyDeletehopefully more updates. But I would say its more secure then any other phones.
ReplyDeleteHasn't anyone seen terminator. technology is going to fight back one day.
ReplyDeleteWell at this point it makes me wonder if cell phones in general are worth the stress.
ReplyDeleteStick with the IPhone and jailbreak it <3 haha works like a charm baby
ReplyDeleteI will still use my milestone 2 xD
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda surprised this is coming from Google
ReplyDeleteall phones are vulnerable to attacks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article, it's good information to know. I really like my android, but from what I hear a lot of phones are susceptible to hacks. :(
ReplyDeleteGood thing I haven't decided on which smartphone to purchase
ReplyDeleteJust don't use strange wifi and you'll be fine.
