Help Andriod users advised to update

[boldhoof]

Hi

Anyone else see that Android users advised to update: BBC News - Android handsets 'leak' personal data

I can't upgrade my Carphone warehouse phone yet, hopefully Samsung will actually get moving.

Well thanks BBC for exposing this news to hackers. You know, the SG3 will never receive the 2.3 update, so this is a good way to make us all feel insecure about anything on our phones, especially mobile banking.

But, thank you for the heads up!

And this is the reason why I only use my home computer connected by a RG45 LAN to do anything I want secure (more secure I should say). Programmers have become very lazy these days. The minutes their software/app work they rush it to basic testing and then out the door to make money. Security unfortunate is often at the bottom of the list because they can alway patch it at a later date.

I guess this may be a good reason to buy a new phone.

What you say is True arnold, but I think it partly has to do with hackers getting more advanced as well. Rather than it solely being on developers.
