[ga] More Google security problems: Security Flaw In Android Web Browser

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems that yet again Googles propensity to release product
that is flawed is now also very dangerous.  When will they learn?
This sort of irresponsible business practice needs much more serious
legal addressing IMO.

See:
"The New York Times reports on a
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/25/technology/internet/25phone.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
security flaw discovered in the new Android phones. The article is light

on details, but it hints at a security hole in the browser, allowing for
trojans
to install themselves in the same security partition as the browser:
'The risk
in the Google design, according to Mr. Miller, who is a principal
security
analyst at Independent Security Evaluators in Baltimore, lies in the
danger from within the Web browser partition in the phone. It would be
possible, for example, for an intruder to install software that would
capture keystrokes entered by the user when surfing to other Web sites.
That would make it possible to steal identity information or
passwords.'"
