HTC Android handsets spew private data to ANY app

[sara fink]

Nice.

But see this comment:

the question is not how long for a fix (although tht's important),
it's... #<http://forums.theregister.co.uk/post/1190903>

Why -and when - did HTC "decide" to log user activity? Surely that's a
breach of privacy? On the other hand, if this is a package that provides
user feedback, with the users express permission, why was it unsecured?


and 2nd in the original post, htc didn't respond until it was made public.

Points to consider.
