Hey guys,
Let me preface this with: I work in tech security, so I'm semi-anal, but you still need to pay attention to this:
This has been discussed semi-, but has just been confirmed in the rooting community.
The Evo stock has a laundry list of security vulnerabilities. So much so, that any malicious app dev could potentially 'hack' your phone and steal pretty much anything. It's so bad, infact, that the Grack boys recommend not even purchasing the device (that's not gonna stop me or anyone else, but it shows how sincere he's being).
Check out the guys at grack (unrevoked guys -- not Toast's root), and their post about security concerns.
Long story short - know what apps your putting on your device, and be careful.

If this has been discussed, please merge. If mods think this needs to be root, go ahead -- but I feel this points out security faults with STOCK software.
