Massive data stealing vulnerability found in many HTC Android phones
How many of these phones are going to get a patch or updated firmware to fix this problem?<p>I'm going to guess either very few or none, as most people won't notice/care about this issue, and HTC isn't making any money off supplying updates.<p>Imagine if Microsoft forced Dell, HP, etc. to handle software security and updates on Windows for PC's they've already sold - it would either never happen or not happen correctly.   Swap the players and that's where Android is today.<p>(yes, I know about alternate firmware - how many non-geeks are capable of using it and have devices that don't have technological blocks like signed bootloaders to prevent it?)
