SD card data stealing flaw in Android phones.

When I read that, I was really shocked. That is dangerous. People can easily steal your contents that you have saved into your memory card, only if you use an Android phone. This vulnerability was found by Thomas Cannon and he immediately informed Google about this before decide to blog about it.

How it happens? When you visit a malicious site where the hacker can access the content of your memory card if he/she knows the path. Well, knowing the path is not very difficult because the folders and arrangement are same in all Android devices

There are several factors for this to happen. One of them is due to Javascript in Android browser that doesn’t prompt the user when downloading a file.

Whoosh, there are quite a number of hacks and vulnerability that I’ve heard all this while. Does that mean that Android is lousy or it simply means that Android is very famous?

Anyway, this issue was quickly fixed by Google. So, relax.
