I use the second to last recommendation in the blog post but I would tell my mom to buy an iPhone. :-)
BTW here is a recent article I was interviewed in talking about mobile malware and related. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/100311-malware-251426.html?page=1 Main point being something I have said for years that we will start to see the explosion in mobile malware increase as the mobile phone continues to replace our wallet. Funny enough even CNN is finally catching on years later and ran a front page story about that exact topic except of course they mentioned nothing about security. Then again seeing the total lack of process and structure around security as shown by the HTC and Samsung vulnerabilities it is just more signs that technology companies for the most part continue to do security as an afterthought. I can dig up a few 10 year old rants on that topic but I digress... :-) -Marc Signed, Marc Maiffret Founder/CTO eEye Digital Security WEB: http://www.eEye.com BLOG: http://blog.eeye.com TWITTER: http://twitter.com/marcmaiffret -----Original Message----- From: Bill Humphries [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 7:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Android Handset Makers - Adding Value or Vulnerabilities?
