Another app vulnerability, though definitely a niche market... - ANDROID PING!

Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.

My take on it: the phrase "Victims must install a malicious app on their phones first..." is key here. It is becoming obvious that with any of the major smart phone systems - Android, Apple, Windows - the primary vulnerability is from the user installing malicious apps. We are our own worst enemies.

Old versions of Android aside (not a whole heck of a lot of Obamaphone Tesla owners out there..), it is rather interesting how little thought is put into basic security, especially by those who supposedly are delivering cutting edge technology to consumers.
