Re: Android Phone Potentially Can Be Hacked With a Text

Good info!  An article that anyone who uses mobile devices should read.  The Ars article sums up the security problems with Android.

 

It also compares how Google and Microsoft are very different in how they handle security updates.  Microsoft protects the users of Windows by directly issuing updates to all devices no matter the manufacturer of the hardware.

 

Google ceded that responsibility to individual manufacturers & cell carriers and therein lies the problem.  Once some companies get your money they do not feel the responsibility to continue support for that device.
