Comment on Root exploit on Exynos

Comments

I'm so happy to be running an old crappy Nokia "no-apps, not even J2ME" phone.

We read the other day that Kaspersky preferred to run a very simple phone for security reasons.

I wonder if other security-savvy people like Bruce Schneier etc. are using the latest gizmos (be it from Apple, Samsung, Microsoft or any other) or, well, just something that allows to give and receive phone calls.

Can't wait to see a botnet of 40 millions Samsung devices.

It's really sad this kind of headlines give a bad rep to Google, Android and Linux (even if the "culprit" is Samsung).

I'll wait a few more years and see how things turn out but meanwhile I keep my good old phone that, you know, allows to give and receive phone calls : )
