ScubaCinci Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 uh oh...sounds like it may be more limited to pre-paid phones http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2016/11/15/secret-software-in-some-android-phones-sent-data-to-china-experts-warn.html Quote Security experts say they have discovered secret ‘backdoor’ software in some Android phones that sends users’ personal data to China. Kryptowire, the security firm that discovered the vulnerability, confirmed this information on its website on Tuesday. The firm wrote that certain Android devices contain pre-installed software that collects and sends personal data, such as texts and geographical location, to an unauthorized third-party. http://www.kryptowire.com/adups_security_analysis.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cuz you never say or do anything important doesn't mean others don't. For example the President of your bank that could cough up your account info to the Chinese who procede to clean you out. Or the politician that is working on The Donalds new trade deal with the Chinese...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last paragraph of what you linked to for example. Really man, Check Point is the laughing stock of the security world. They find an obscure unusable exploit....generate fear and make money selling bullshit fixes and special detectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
