Flutterby™! : Android hack of the moment

More reason to not trust your phone: Researchers find vulnerability that affects 95% of Android devices:

Using a person’s telephone number, hackers can send a media file via MMS that gives them entry into a device. What’s more, the owner of the device may never know. Hackers could conceivably send the trojan file while the device’s owner is sleeping, get access to their phone, and then delete any evidence the phone was hacked. Once the exploit is completed, a hacker can remotely operate a phone’s microphone, steal files, read emails, and get personal credentials.

Just realized that my new Android tablet doesn't have sticky notes over the cameras... I should probably rectify that.
