I'm in SHOCK over what I've just read. I don't even know what to say to be honest. Read it and weep, literally. . .
Massive Security Vulnerability In HTC Android Devices (EVO 3D, 4G, Thunderbolt, Others) Exposes Phone Numbers, GPS, SMS, Emails Addresses, Much More
edit: I spoke with Artem from Android Police on Twitter and the app in question is called HTCLoggers.apk and It's located in system/app. This only affects Sense ROMs. So, I'd recommend everyone who's rooted and running a Sense build check their system/app with your favorite file explorer immediately.
I'm curious what HTC is going to do about all this? This is a PR nightmare. I'm a huge fan of their phones, but this has left a very sour taste in my mouth.
