Forbes/Bluebox: 99 Percent Of All Android Installations Are Vulnerable To Hacking


From the article:

"This is the claim from Bluebox Security: that pretty much any Android device can be hacked and thus either be read or, even, be turned into part of a botnet:

The Bluebox Security research team ? Bluebox Labs ? recently discovered a vulnerability in Android?s security model that allows a hacker to modify APK code without breaking an application?s cryptographic signature, to turn any legitimate application into a malicious Trojan, completely unnoticed by the app store, the phone, or the end user. The implications are huge! This vulnerability, around at least since the release of Android 1.6 (codename: ?Donut? ), could affect any Android phone released in the last 4 years1 ? or nearly 900 million devices2? and depending on the type of application, a hacker can exploit the vulnerability for anything from data theft to creation of a mobile botnet."
