Android Phones and Tablets are not secure!!

A German study revealed today that most of the phones and tablets using Android as an operating system are not secure.

IT specialists of the University of ULM in Germany have demonstrated that the incredible amount of 99,7%(!!) of these terminals present a fault in security. Moreover, the breach is caused by Google itself and doesn’t come from another application.

This negligence allows malicious people to access any kind of data but the ones of Gmail apparently. It means that someone can have access to Google servers and modify them. The diary, the contacts, the text messages and photo albums can also be seen by someone else.

So if you are using a phone or a tablet using Android as an operating system, you should clearly think about checking for any update and install them. All the versions older than a month are subject to be affected.

Until the problem is not entirely solved by Google, it is also suggested to Android users to deactivate their automatic connection to WI-FI networks.

After Facebook and Apple, Google also seems to have problems dealing with private information and data.

Is it still possible to imagine our information as being private? We seriously doubt so..
