Android security flaw
Figure there are Android phone users out there that don't visit the Media Center that might be affected by this which is why this is in the Lounge. I have added the QR code below that will link you directly to the test site (in case you aren't reading from your mobile).

Thanks. My Motorola Droid X2 and my wife's Motorola Electrify were both affected.

My HTC Amaze is apparently vulnerable as well.

Mine is too.
I'm not worried about it. Factory reset doesn't hurt the phone. Sure, you can lose pics and music on your device, but you should back that stuff up anyway.

If this were an iPhone flaw, this thread would have 100 posts already. At least 30 or so from you....

I'm sure you're right, but many of us who bitch frequently switch ROMs anyway. I've done a factory reset on my phone 3-4 times in the past month alone, so this wouldn't be any big deal.

A big reason why there aren't 100 posts in this thread already is because of the minute differences between UI's depending on brand and carrier. Not all Android phones were affected by this while a security gap of this nature on an iPhone would most likely affect every single one.
