Mobile is a step backwards in software security (back to about the mid-1990s) due to patching. Or more correctly, lack thereof. I've been bitching about it for years. I'm convinced the only way to fix it is through legislation and software liability laws. Waiting for companies to "do the right thing" means will be waiting a very long time (given their track record) because "do nothing" is cost effective and maximizes profits, > GMA failed to validate server authenticity when connecting through HTTPS The Security Architect for Good should be fired if that sort of thing is acceptable.
